, Family Nurse Practitioner Program Overview
The McAuley School of Nursing which is housed within the College of Health
Professions, was established in 1990 with the consolidation of the University of
Detroit and Mercy College of Detroit. The MSON initiated the Master of Science
in Nursing program in 1997 with the Family Nurse Practitioner major and in 2000,
a second major, the Health Systems Management program was introduced.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration students are offered coursework through
the McAuley School of Nursing and College of Health Professions. The nursing
programs at the McAuley School of Nursing are fully accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The Master of Science in
Nursing with a major in Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) prepares the advanced
practice nurse to provide primary health care services across the lifespan to
individuals, families and aggregates in the community. Besides primary care
services, critical foci include practice models which emphasize the family as unit,
health promotion and disease prevention and interdisciplinary collaboration.
The goal of the FNP program is to prepare highly skilled and culturally sensitive
advanced practice nurses who are committed to providing high quality and cost
effective primary care services to individuals, families, and communities. The
program places emphasis on providing services to the medically underserved.
The MSN degree with the FNP major requires 44 credit hours and 720 clinical
hours. The masters of science degree is conferred at the completion of the
program requirements. Graduates of the program and those who complete the
post master’s certificate are eligible to sit for the national certification examination
administered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the
American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).
