MSN-FNP stands for M.S. in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner track (MSN-FNP). The MSN is a professional degree that prepares registered nurses for greater levels of patient care and FNP is a specialized track within the degree.

Although the scope of practice varies by state, in general, the MSN-FNP enables you to elevate your patient care to include examination, diagnosis and prescription authority, or work toward a doctorate.

An online MSN-FNP provides more flexibility than an on-site equivalent. While your coursework can be completed online, you must complete an on-site clinical 1-2 days per week depending on the course requirements during your last year. The degree positions you for advancement.

Coursework for Franklin’s accelerated program can be completed online and course curriculum is brought to life using Shadowhealth and iHuman, state-of-the-art simulation software.
