Why Choose a Career as a Family Nurse Practitioner?

• Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) have a wide scope of practice and can provide care to patients of any age.
• Although it varies from state to state, FNPs can prescribe medications, order medical tests, and make medical diagnoses, which enables them to more directly and positively impact the lives of their patients.
• FNPs can work in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, physician offices, and clinics.
• According to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), over 70% of Family Nurse Practitioners deliver primary care in the United States, making them the cornerstone of primary health care.
• Although most family nurse practitioners provide much-needed primary care, with additional training they can further specialize in a variety of areas including, but not limited to, wound care and hyperbaric medicine, cardiology, and neurology.
• According to AANP Americans sought care from approximately 290,000 FNPs for more than one billion office visits in 2019.
• New York State Education Law grants family nurse practitioners with more than 3,600 hours of qualifying FNP practice experience to provide care more autonomously, and without written collaborative agreement. This allows a nurse practitioner to branch out in other areas, such as owning and operating a private practice.
• According to the 2019 Department of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for Nurse Practitioners was $109,820.
• Department of Labor Statistics reports that New York State hires the most NPs per year (14,060), with an annual median salary of $122,555.

Meaningful Action

Since Manhattanville’s inception as a Catholic academy in 1841, we have believed education is most transformative when tied to acts of service and the will to lead ethically and responsibly. That belief was evident when President Grace Cowardin Dammann, RSCJ, encouraged students to work with underprivileged children during the Great Depression and World War II and is still visible today with our students donating more than 32,000 hours to community service and social justice projects. Still committed to the values that shaped its founders’ belief in the liberal arts, the College became coeducational in 1971 and independent of the Society of the Sacred Heart after 1971.
