Overview

As the U.S. healthcare system shifts toward wellness, rather than illness care, family nurse practitioners (FNPs) occupy a critical and expanding role in primary care. Our program emphasizes community-based primary healthcare for individuals and families across the lifespan.

The FNP specialty track offers BSN-prepared nurses with at least one year of full-time RN experience the opportunity to advance their practice at the top-ranked UVA School of Nursing. The FNP is offered at the MSN, certificate, and DNP levels.

Building on the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of the BSN-prepared nurse, the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program at University of Virginia prepares students to provide holistic care to patients, families and communities focusing health education and coordinating services. Skills include identification of acute illnesses; nursing and medical management of commonly encountered acute and chronic illnesses in collaboration and consultation with an interdisciplinary team; development of a knowledgebase of community needs and resources available for health promotion; health teaching, guidance, and counseling of clients and their families about illness and its prevention; and health promotion, maintenance, and management.
