Family Nurse Practitioner Program
My intended graduate nursing program is Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). FNP is a part of the advanced nursing programs that equip the nurses with the right skills and competencies to aid in delivering family-focused care. The healthcare services offered by the FNP range from the health promotion, direct care, disease prevention, and counseling which revolves around the family unit.
I have two major professional career goals after completing my FNP Certification. One of the goals that I have is to advance my nursing career through pursuing advanced Diploma in nursing care and aim at becoming a Registered Nurse. My second professional career goal is preparing myself for taking a leadership position in nursing, and I will develop my leadership skills through leadership conferences as well as assuming responsibilities. My professional experiences have adequately prepared for the study at the University. These experiences have enabled me to enhance my competencies in nursing. The graduate program will assist me in meeting these goals through equipping me with the right knowledge, skills, and competencies required to achieve all these goals.
I have planned to devote myself entirely to this program. Studying for this program is a significant milestone that will enable me to realize my goals. I have decided to take a study leave during this period so that I can focus all my efforts to covering the time needed for the study as well as having time for the clinical experience which is crucial in Family Nursing Practitioner program.

Long working hours for the employees in the healthcare facilities is one of the major challenges facing the healthcare system in the US. Nurses in advanced nursing practice can take part in addressing this issue. For instance, nurses can take part in policy making and other reforms that will ensure that care practitioners are not overworked and there are enough employees in each care center. Further, advanced care nurses can expand the scope of their practice whereby they will be given an opportunity to practice to the full extent of their licensure and education. The APN should be permitted to offer primary care to the public as they have trained to do.
