An Online FNP Program with a Holistic Care Approach
Consider the Whole Patient During Treatment
Texas Woman's University's online MSN-FNP program prepares the next generation of family nurse practitioners to excel in caring for the whole person.
As an FNP student, you'll learn how to apply a holistic framework during treatment and practice patient-centered care. A robust academic curriculum and clinical experiences teach students to integrate the construct of care, considering the connections between the patient, family, environment and community.
Patient
Recognizing the significance of the patient-provider relationship for positive health outcomes, TWU prioritizes patient-centered care when preparing the next generation of FNPs. As an online student, you will learn how to diagnose and treat beyond your patients' symptoms, applying a holistic approach to primary care.
Family
TWU's holistic care approach explores family relationships and dynamics. You'll understand how family plays a role in patient health, and how relatives can support progress. You'll be equipped to work with patients and their family to make lifestyle changes and promote positive health outcomes.
Environment
With the shortage of primary care providers in the U.S., rural areas experience the highest need for services. You'll be prepared to meet the demand for primary care, especially in locations where accessibility continues to be an issue.
Community
Through outreach, FNPs educate community members and contribute to the wellbeing of entire groups of people. You'll be encouraged to engage with community groups and organizations to lead health promotion and advocacy.
