MS Family Nurse Practitioner

The ProgramThe Family Nurse Practitioner program is designed to prepare expert advanced practice primary care clinicians capable of providing care to families in primary care settings. The program builds on the undergraduate foundation and develops advanced assessment, planning, and evidence-based clinical management skills.

Family nurse practitioners provide primary and preventive care in such areas as pediatrics, family health, women’s health, and gerontological care. They are advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities.

The program emphasizes clinical competence through theoretical understanding and practical application to primary care practice. Clinical expertise is acquired through clinical placements in a variety of public, private, and community-based primary care agencies. The FNP student will complete 750 hours of clinical practice in this 45 credit-hour program of study.

In addition, the program provides a strong foundation for doctoral study and research.

The MS program accommodates both full-time and part-time students. Full-time students can complete the program in two years; part-time completion typically takes four years.

At this time, the program is available in a hybrid format with a significant amount of coursework available online.

AccreditationThe MS Family Nurse Practitioner program is registered by the New York State Education Department and is nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Career OpportunitiesWith a growing need for qualified nurse practitioners, professional-level nursing takes place in private practices, health maintenance organizations, public health agencies, primary care clinics, home health care and nursing homes. Opportunities are also available in offices, palliative care and occupational settings. Graduates of the program are also encouraged to pursue doctoral study.

The FacultySUNY Poly Nursing faculty work closely with students and challenge them to excel. Many have experience in their professional area of expertise in addition to strong academic credentials.
