Hybrid-Online FNP Program for APRNs Only

UCF’s hybrid-online Family Nurse Practitioner graduate certificate program prepares APRNs for advanced primary care practice across the lifespan—from children to adult.

FNPs diagnose and manage self-limiting and chronic conditions and emphasize health promotion and disease prevention. Their services include, but are not limited to: ordering, conducting and interpreting diagnostic and laboratory tests; prescribing pharmacological agents and non-pharmacological therapies; and teaching and counseling.

The curriculum provides a strong scientific foundation for practicing in the current healthcare environment, teaches flexibility, and focuses on evidence-based practice and leadership.

Students will take course work corresponding to the advanced level nursing programs. Enrolling in the Advanced Practice post-master’s DNP program is an option after completing this program.
