Master of Science in Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner Program
Save as PDFProgram Description
The MSN FNP Program is designed for learners who already hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing and prepares graduates to become an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with specific emphasis on the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner. The MSN FNP content is grounded in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing and evidence based on national standards and research related to current practice, education, legislative, and research trends in healthcare and local needs along with various guiding principles, documents, and regulations set forth by the:
- American Association of Collegiate Nursing (AACN) Standards of Master’s Education (2011)
- Criteria for the Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs (5th ed.). A Report of the National Task Force (NTF) on Quality Nurse Practitioner Education (2016)
- The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies (NONPF, 2017)
- Population-Focused Nurse Practitioner Competencies (2013)
- Quality and Safety Education in Nursing (QSEN) Competencies: Graduate KSA’s (2012)
The curriculum is designed to prepare nurses who complete the Family Nurse Practitioner track for the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse role by expanding their nursing body of knowledge and skills in a role and specified population foci. Learners in the Family Nurse Practitioner track will develop advanced knowledge and skills in assessment (including differential diagnosing), intervention (including prescribing), and management within the construct of patient-provider relationship and patient-centered care across the lifespan. The learner will be prepared to function as an effective member of the interdisciplinary healthcare team and to provide consultation, collaborative management, and/or referral. The curriculum will prepare the learner to be eligible to become certified in their population foci. The curriculum addresses scope of practice concepts in the Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse course, and concepts are reinforced throughout the Family Nurse Practitioner Role courses and applied in all practicum learning experiences. The graduate program core courses will provide foundational knowledge and skills for the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse role. The FNP core courses includes Advanced Pathophysiology Across the Lifespan; Advanced Pharmacology Across the Lifespan; and Advanced Assessment Across the Lifespan. Family Nurse Practitioner learners will be expected to demonstrate skills in differential diagnosis and disease management. Learners will be prepared to be granted prescriptive authority, if applicable, in their state of licensure. The curriculum meets certification eligibility requirements for the AANP and ANCC Family Nurse Practitioner examinations. After achievement of the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse certification, graduates will be able to apply for an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license.
A total of fifty-five (55) semester credits consisting of different combinations of courses: core, direct care core, specialty, and practicum are required for the conferral of the MSN FNP degree. Thirty-seven (37) credit hours will be dedicated to didactic theory learning and eighteen (18) credit hours will be dedicated to clinical experiences. Learners can complete the MSN FNP program in six (6) academic semesters or ninety-six (96) academic weeks of instruction.
The MSN FNP Program uses full-distance delivery of instruction, where learners engage in online didactic and practicum experiences in community nursing and global health trends, health promotion, disease prevention, leadership, policy, ethics, informatics, statistics, pharmacology, and pathophysiology. The curriculum addresses scope of practice concepts in the Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse course, and concepts are reinforced throughout the Family Nurse Practitioner Role courses and applied in all practicum learning experiences. For course delivery modalities definitions, see the Learner Residency and Course Delivery Modalities section of this Catalog. The curriculum is expected to prepare nurses who complete the Family Nurse Practitioner track for the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse role by expanding their nursing body of knowledge and skills in a role and specified population foci. Upon satisfactory completion of the prescribed MSN FNP Program curriculum with a minimum 3.0 GPA and the fulfillment of other graduation requirements, the learner will earn a Master of Science in Nursing - Family Nurse Practitioner (MSN FNP) Degree.
Note: The Program only enrolls residents in states where it is fully authorized. If a learner enrolls in the Program and subsequently moves to a state where the Program is not authorized, he/she will not be able to continue enrollment until such authorization is obtained. Learners must notify the Program immediately upon relocation.

Curriculum Plan
The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education provides a framework for preparing individuals as members of the discipline of nursing, reflecting expectations across the trajectory of nursing education and applied experience (AACN, 2021). Because professional nursing practice in all settings requires consideration of the individual, family, community, and population as client, these outcomes are essential to master’s nursing education offered by Nightingale College.
The MSN FNP Program consists of thirty (30) graduate-division nursing courses delivered over six (6) academic semesters and ninety-six (96) academic weeks, for a total fifty-five (55) semester credits. There are five hundred forty-seven point five (547.5) didactic, twenty-two point five (22.5) applied field experience, and eight hundred ten (810) integrative practicum contact hours total.
