BS-DNP Family Health Concentration

FNPs assess, diagnose, and treat acute and chronic illnesses while delivering preventive and family-centered care. Understanding the impact of the family’s community on health and care delivery is a hallmark of FNP practice (National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties, 2013).
