The family nurse practitioner specialty is in high demand in rural
states like Kansas. A family nurse practitioner provides a unique blend
of nursing and medical care to families and individuals, including
newborns, infants, children, adolescents, adults, pregnant and
postpartum women, and older adults.
The FNP degree is a hybrid program, with a combination of online classes, on-campus classes
and preceptor-ship courses completed close to home. Students must have a Kansas nursing license to
enroll in this program, which is fully accredited by the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). FNP graduates of Fort Hays State University have passed the national certification with a 100% success rate.
