Program Overview
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is the new standard for advanced practice nursing education. The FWWSON has two clinical concentrations: family nurse practitioner (FNP) and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). For master's-prepared FNPs or PMHNPs, the school offers an option for obtaining the DNP degree; however, this option requires that these individuals take the entire post-BSN plan of study, including coursework to prepare them in another population area: FNP or PMHNP. Please review the program's unique mission and philosophy.
FNP concentration prepares students for careers in rural primary care.
PMHNP concentration prepares student for careers in rural psychiatric mental health care.
