An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is a nurse who has obtained at least a master’s degree in nursing. APRNs may work across various healthcare settings, including hospitals, ambulatory clinics or long-term care facilities. They provide medical support and preventative care to patients, along with additional responsibilities of coordinating patient care and using specialized knowledge to manage complex patient conditions.
Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are advanced practice nurses who focus on patients of all ages- from infancy through adulthood. It is one of the most commonly selected certifications that nurse practitioners choose. When attending a master’s or doctoral program, students can choose which population foci they wish to concentrate on. Certification is usually required with licensing as a nurse practitioner.
