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 indiviuals, 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. While you may take the online courses from anywhere, all on-campus and IPTV courses take place on Wednesdays. Students must have a Kansas nursing license to enroll in this program, which is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
