The Murray State University Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Program celebrated a 100 percent pass rate for all graduates who took the May 2024 FNP Certification Examination.
“The outstanding performance on the FNP certification exam is evidence of the excellent education provided by the faculty and our preceptors,” said Dean of the Murray State University School of Nursing and Health Professions Dr. Dina Byers. “The FNP faculty have many years of clinical and educational experience which is translated into the classroom. Additionally, the students are dedicated to nursing excellence and complete the program with a strong nursing education and a commitment to the patients, families and communities that they serve.”
The FNP program at Murray State University educates baccalaureate prepared registered nurses for a career as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN). Students will learn how to provide primary care to patients in a variety of settings. The role of the FNP builds on the competencies of RNs and includes:
- Providing comprehensive care to individuals and families across the lifespan
- Ordering, performing, and interpreting diagnostic tests
- Diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions
- Prescribing medication and other treatments
- Managing patient’s overall well-being through health promotion and disease prevention
- Providing counseling and education
