Family nurse practitioners are advanced practice nurses who offer care, promote health, and treat disease in patients ranging from children to elders. They provide comprehensive wellness care as well as management of acute and chronic illnesses. FNPs practice in hospitals, urgent care and primary care settings, federally­ qualified health centers and private practice offices

The FNP major requires 40 credit hours of coursework, plus about 600 hours of clinicals. The coursework is usually completed within four semesters for full­-time students, and courses are offered in a distance-­friendly format that requires a minimal number of trips to Cleveland.
