Master of Science [M.S] [Nurse Administrator and Family Nurse Practitioner] From Ohio University

Program Overview:?

The MSN Program consists of both didactic and practice-based or clinical performance courses. The didactic courses present the nursing knowledge, theoretical concepts, models, and research that inform patient care and evidence-based practice. The practice-based courses provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge; practice skills; plan, implement and evaluate interventions and programs; and learn the full scope of the role for which they are preparing. There is a core set of courses that all students (regardless of the chosen MSN track option) complete. These seven courses will be completed before a student begins the clinical performance courses.

The Nurse Administrator/Family Nurse? (NA/FNP) track option prepares students to be eligible for certification as a FNP. FNP?s provide primary care services to patients across the lifespan. IN addition, the nurse administrator courses prepare students for leadership in a variety of healthcare settings.
