The Family Nurse Practitioner track will prepare you as an advanced practice nurse to provide primary care across the human lifespan. As a graduate of the FNP program, you will be qualified to seek national certification through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB) or the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Each U.S. state and territory may have different professional licensure requirements governing nursing occupations. Cedarville ensures that its programs meet the educational prerequisites for professional licensure within the State of Ohio. If you reside outside Ohio, you should contact Cedarville's Director of Graduate Nursing Programs as well as your state licensure board to confirm licensure requirements for your state or territory before beginning the MSN.

You will complete 800 hours of direct care clinical experience in various aspects of primary healthcare across the lifespan.

You will participate in four required 2–3-day on-campus experiences, which include face-to-face instruction of course materials and simulation experiences using our state-of-the-art, high- and low-fidelity simulators. As part of these simulations, faculty will guide you through clinical decision-making, gaining advanced practice nursing skills and competencies.
