A family nurse practitioner, like Marlene, is an advanced practice registered nurse who works autonomously or in collaboration with other healthcare professionals to deliver family-focused care. Given the rather broad nature of the “family” patient population focus, FNPs offer a wide range of healthcare services that revolve around the family unit; from health promotion and disease prevention to direct care and counseling across the lifespan.
Marlene attributes her success to her late father. He was a physician who always told her not to set limits for herself and to be more educated. Today, Marlene is focused and passionate about her career. She initially wanted to be an artist or a veterinarian; however, now she absolutely loves being a family nurse practitioner. In addition to English, Marlene speaks Spanish.
