Family Nurse Practitioner
The NDMU Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program prepares advanced practice nurses to manage care for individuals of all ages in primary care settings. With caring at the center of nursing practice, you will learn to diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions with consideration for the whole person. Beyond managing disease, our program emphasizes wellness coaching to reduce the risk for chronic diseases linked to lifestyle choices.

With caring at the center of nursing practice, you will learn to promote health, prevent illness, and manage acute and chronic conditions with consideration for the whole person. Beyond managing disease, our program emphasizes wellness coaching to reduce the risk for chronic diseases linked to lifestyle choices.

MSN Programs at NDMU
NDMU healthcare programs share a common focus on compassionate care with consideration for the whole person. Our MSN programs develop nurses and leaders committed to promoting health in their communities.
Support
When you enroll in the FNP or A-GNP program at NDMU, you will progress through the program in a cohort, a group that supports one another along the way.
Part-Time Format
Our part-time format is designed for nurses in practice to complete the program within 27 months.
Courses
- Both the NDMU FNP & A-GNP programs offer an in-person learning environment- usually 2 days a week, and only in the evenings. Studies offer a range of interactive coursework, simulations, and extensive clinical practice experiences.
Class Schedules
- FNP: Each semester, you will take 2 courses (5-8 credits), which meet twice a week.
- A-GNP: Each semester, you will take 2 courses (5-8 credits), which meet twice a week.
In-Person Learning
Small classes and personalized face-to-face instruction are both a driving factor for why nurses choose NDMU. In-person learning allows for more hands-on experience, and building relationships with those who will become your professional network.
Experienced Faculty
All of the FNP & AGNP professors at NDMU are practicing nurse practitioners. They have current, relevant knowledge on the latest practices and technologies, and care about you not only as students, but as people, too.
Caring Science
The Caring Science Theory which NDMU employs is built on an all-inclusive, authentic approach to providing healthcare that incorporates all facets of life: emotional, spiritual, physical.
Clinical Practicum
We have established partnerships with large healthcare facilities in the Baltimore area, which provide our students with rich, primary care practicum experience. These increase in complexity throughout the program.
