If you hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and feel passionate about caring for the health care needs of families, Regis
University's
Family Nurse
Practitioner
(FNP) program is for you.
The FNP program is offered on the main campus every other weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
Clinical courses begin in the second semester and are designed as requisites for a variety of health care settings. The clinical experience encompasses 630 hours divided among pediatrics, adult, women's and family situations. Half of these hours are completed in the last semester of the program to ensure the opportunity to consolidate skills and apply theory to authentic learning experiences. Full time students complete the program in 22 months.
Additionally, preparation for national certification is incorporated into the curriculum, with Regis University FNP graduates having one of the highest pass rates in the U.S. There is often opportunity to serve at-risk populations and in the past, faculty and selected students have worked in community health projects in China and with Native American populations through the Service Learning department. The work is ambitious and the learning is intensive, but the rewards will be evident throughout your career.
