Family nurse practitioners provide care for a wide range of patients, traditionally in clinical settings or family practices.

Malone's fully online FNP program prepares nurses to be able to move on to the next level of nursing and take on new, exciting responsibilities. The curriculum of the FNP program includes coursework, lab time, and internships, in as fast as two years. Students will engage in an evidence-based practice project and gain hands-on learning through three intensive advanced skills lab sessions: at the beginning, in the middle, and at the conclusion of the program. Online students have full access to Malone library resources, state-of-the-art nursing facilities, and the ability to meet with Malone faculty in person.

Clinical internship sites are chosen based on availability of multiple experiences in conjunction with partnerships, student preferences, and faculty guidance.

Preparing you for the future

The FNP program prepares students to take the Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam to become a board certified FNP.
