Clinical Experience
Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner (MSN/FNP)
As an FNP-track student, you will complete 675 precepted clinical hours in your community. Working with Medical Doctors (MD), Osteopathic Physicians (DO), and Nurse Practitioners (NP) who agree to mentor you through this skill-building phase, your local preceptor will make sure you receive an outstanding learning experience at a site as close to home as possible.
Your clinical and practice experiences focus on ambulatory, primary- care practice. Geriatric, adult, pediatric, obstetric, and gynecologic populations are all included in your clinical rotations that take place in a range of settings including private practices, community clinics, public health facilities, and some specialty clinics. During your seminar weekend classes and skill workshops will introduce skills and intellectual concepts that you will integrate into your clinical rotations.
