It is structured to meet the needs and schedules of working registered nurses through the same on-campus and distance learning formats used in the master's degree program. The program for the Family Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate consists of 28 semester credits and provides both theoretical and clinical application components. In some instances, depending on the learner's background, additional credits may be encouraged or required. Graduates are qualified to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center's and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners' certification examinations for FNPs.
National certification is a credential needed in many states to obtain advanced practice licensure.
