The program builds on the\u00a0undergraduate foundation and develops advanced assessment, planning, and\u00a0evidence-based clinical management skills. Family nurse practitioners\u00a0provide primary and preventive care in such areas as pediatrics, family health, women\u2019s health, and gerontological care. They are advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities.<\/p>\n<p>The SUNY Poly Family Nurse Practitioner program emphasizes clinical competence through theoretical understanding and practical application to primary care practice. Clinical expertise is acquired through clinical experiences in a variety of public, private, and community-based primary care agencies. The FNP student\u00a0will complete approximately 750 hours of clinical practice in this 45 credit-hour program of study. In addition, the program provides a strong foundation\u00a0for future scholarship, research and doctoral study.<\/p>\n<p>The MS program accommodates both full-time and part-time students.\u00a0Full-time students can complete the program in two years; part-time\u00a0completion typically takes four years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Requirements<br \/>\n<\/strong>The MS in Nursing with a major in Family Nurse Practitioner consists\u00a0of\u00a0<strong>45 credit hours <\/strong>distributed as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NUR 500 Theoretical Foundations for Nursing Practice (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 503 Advanced Nursing, Health Policy &amp; the Health System (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 531 Family Theory (2 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 555 Clinical Pharmacology (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 560 Nursing Research Methods (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 566 Advanced Health Assessment (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 567 Advanced Health Assessment\u00a0Clinical (2 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 570 Clinical Pathophysiology (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 572 Family Health Promotion &amp;\u00a0Disease Prevention Across the Lifespan (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 580 Beginning Level Family Clinical (2 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 652 Family Primary Health Care I (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 658 Women\u2019s Health Care (2 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 668 Family Primary Health Care II (4 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 670 Intermediate Level Family Clinical (3 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 680 Advanced Level Family Clinical (4 credits)<\/li>\n<li>NUR 692 Culminating Seminar for Nurse Practitioners (2 credits)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Clinical Experiences<br \/>\n<\/strong>Students must have a clear and unencumbered nursing license in order to participate in clinical experiences.

All students, regardless of level, will be expected to adhere to legal and ethical standards as established by regulatory agencies and nursing professional standards.

Unsafe clinical performance is care that seriously jeopardizes a patient\u2019s well-being, and\/or causes potential or actual harm to self or others. No student demonstrating unsafe performance will be allowed to continue in clinical settings.
