Overview

Objectives

Wilkes University's online Nursing - Family Nurse Practitioner track will allow you to analyze evidence-based practice to facilitate direct care for health promotion, protection and disease prevention. You’ll understand how to apply critical-thinking skills to clinical decision-making and diagnostic reasoning for prioritizing care and demonstrating communication skills to positively impact patient outcomes physically, psychosocially, spiritually, cognitively and developmentally.

According to the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), the United States will be short at least 120,000 family medicine providers by 2030. Enrolling in our FNP program online and becoming an advanced practice nurse allows you to be part of the solution.
