Master nauka u sestrinstvu - Porodična medicinska sestra

The Master of Science in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner track prepares the graduate to practice as a primary care provider to a wide range of patients while focusing on health promotion, risk reduction, disease prevention, and illness management. The course instruction is delivered primarily online allowing students to balance career, family, and other responsibilities while advancing their education.

Admitted students will be asked to travel to the Bryan-College Station campus for a one-day New Student Conference prior to the start of the program and a limited number of class activities. Advanced Health Assessment requires students to complete a total of 45 hours on the Bryan-College Station campus to meet the clinical objectives of the course as set forth by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for any MSN degree. Students will complete the clinical hours in two separate on-campus visits requiring overnight stays for students at a distance. Students will also be required to travel to campus one to two times during the semesters they complete Diagnostics and Procedures as well as their four (4) Primary Care courses.

Practice experiences with a preceptor may be obtained within the student's community of residence as long as the placement aligns with course objectives. The final decision on appropriate preceptor and clinical placement is determined by the FNP Program Coordinator. Nurse practitioners are preferred although physicians or physician assistants may serve in some courses. In the event the student does not have a clinical preceptor, the College will place them, however, this may involve travel and lodging at the student's expense. Further information on preceptors will be provided at orientation.

Creating a sustainable pipeline of diverse, educated nurses through advanced education, collaborative programs, and strategic partnerships is key to meeting the challenges of health care. Our students take the knowledge gained from the classroom, simulations, and clinical training to provide patient-centered care beyond the bedside. Staying true to our Aggie Core Values, we foster a culture that enhances the quality of life across Texas, the nation, and beyond.

Our mission is to educate professional nurses of today and leaders of tomorrow through excellent educational programs in nursing by identifying, attracting, and graduating students of high potential, especially those who have been historically underrepresented in health care in Texas.
