Family Nurse Practitioner (Post-Masters FNP)

The College of Graduate Nursing (CGN) at WesternU pioneered the delivery of a web-based family nursing practitioner program in 1997 – the very first program of its kind in the nation.  Today, that legacy continues with our  Post-Masters Family Nurse Practitioner (PM-FNP) program.

The WesternU College of Graduate Nursing offers a seamless progression to earn your Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certificate/credential in two years.

Our hybrid online learning program delivers the knowledge and skills to prepare you for your FNP role within a flexible schedule.  Our campus-based seminar intensives, on the WesternU Pomona campus, and clinical experiences in a designated community will prepare you for clinical practice within a variety of healthcare settings.

Learn more about the program by visiting the Requirements page. Soon, you will be providing comprehensive care to patients, families, and communities.
