The post-master's FNP certificate is designed for registered nurses with a license and an MSN who are seeking advanced practice roles with an FNP specialization. It is delivered online by the Department of Nursing, and its theory and practicum courses in the specialty match those of the MSN track.
Certificate students log 700 clinical hours across population-focused and specialty settings, supervised by qualified preceptors. The goal is to equip nurses with master's preparation to provide advanced care to individuals and families across the lifespan and the health continuum.
The certificate totals 26 to 35 semester hours. Applicants need an MSN from a nursing program accredited by CNEA, ACEN or CCNE and evidence of a valid nursing license with no encumbrances; those with gaps are evaluated individually. Coursework includes advanced pathophysiology, advanced health assessment, advanced pharmacology and primary care courses. Graduates are eligible to sit for the FNP certification exam from ANCC or AANP.
