The desired specialty is Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP); expertise in Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) is also preferred, and candidates with expertise in multiple specialties are highly desirable. Faculty may teach in online, asynchronous MSN nurse practitioner tracks, the BSN program, and/or MSN core courses according to program needs.
