The material covers national certification eligibility for examinations offered by ANCC and AANP, then details state licensure variability, including exams, applications, fees, active RN requirements, and scope restrictions for prescribing. It also outlines educational requirements and notes that requirements can change, advising verification with nursing regulatory agencies.","Professional Licensure Programs  \nA professional license is typically regulated by state laws and is required for graduates of these programs to practice, to use the professional designation in their title, and/or to gain employment in certain occupations.  \nThe Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) track option in Franklin University’s MSN program is designed to prepare students for a career as a licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) .  \nNational Certification  \nGraduates of Franklin University’s MSN, Family Nurse Practitioner track program option are eligible to apply to sit for the Family Nurse Practitioner certification examinations offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) Certification Board.  \nState Licensure  \nRequirements for APRN licensure vary by state and may involve more than successful degree completion. Graduates who apply for licensure may need to satisfy other requirements, such as passing an examination to obtain certification from a national agency, completing an application, paying a fee, and holding an active RN license in the state. States also have varying requirements and scope of practice restrictions for APRNs to prescribe medications that are separate from requirements to obtain an advanced practice nursing license.  \nEducational requirements for APRN licensure can include specifications for the applicant's type of academic degree, type of educational institution where the academic program was completed, and curriculum content within the academic program. Some states offer multiple pathways to APRNlicensure, including accepting the results of a national certification exam, or recognizing a license earned in another state.  \nThe list below pertains only to the educational requirements to obtain an initial state license as an advanced practice nurse. Alternative pathways to licensure and additional requirements, other than educational, are not considered in this list.  \nThe information provided below does not guarantee that any particular state licensure entity will approve or deny an individual application for certification or professional licensure; individual determinations are made by the state licensing boards upon review of all application materials.  \nFranklin University makes every effort to ensure the information provided on educational requirements for licensure is accurate and up-to-date; however, these requirements are subject to change at any time. Students who will be seeking licensure as an advanced practice nurse are strongly encouraged to visit the associated agency website (linked in the lists below) in the state in which they intend to practice to review all requirements to obtain licensure. Note: If links are not provided, a website for the nursing regulatory agency in that location is currently unavailable.  \n\n| State/Territory | Franklin’s MSN FNP Program Meets State/Territory Curriculum Requirements for Licensure | State/Territory is Open for Enrollment in Franklin’s MSN FNP Program* |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Alabama\u003Cbr>Alabama Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| Alaska\u003Cbr>Alaska Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| American Samoa | Yes | No |\n| Arizona\u003Cbr>Arizona State Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| Arkansas\u003Cbr>Arkansas Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| California\u003Cbr>California Board of Registered Nursing | Yes | No |\n| Colorado\u003Cbr>Colorado Division of Professionsand Occupations: State Board of Nursing | Yes | Yes |\n| Connecticut\u003Cbr>Connecticut State Department of Public Health | Yes | Yes |\n| Delaware\u003Cbr>Delaware Division of Professional Regulation: Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| District of Columbia\u003Cbr>District of Columbia Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| Federated States of Micronesia | Unable to determine | No |\n| Florida\u003Cbr>Florida Board of Nursing | Yes | Yes |\n| Georgia\u003Cbr>Georgia Board of Nursing | Yes | No |\n| Guam\u003Cbr>Board of Nurse Examiners | Yes | No |\n| Hawaii\u003Cbr>Board of Nursing | Yes | Yes |\n| Idaho\u003Cbr","cbCaimCgyqFW32P2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimCgyqFW32P2","pdf",236354,13,1,5,"English","en",105,"# Professional Licensure Programs\n## National Certification\n## State Licensure and Educational Requirements\n## State/Territory Curriculum and Enrollment Status","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the MSN Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) track for licensure?\",\"answer\":\"The FNP track is designed to prepare graduates for a career as a licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), enabling them to use the professional designation and pursue employment in relevant occupations.\"},{\"question\":\"Which organizations offer national certification examinations for FNP graduates?\",\"answer\":\"Eligible graduates may apply to sit for Family Nurse Practitioner certification examinations offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) Certification Board.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do state licensure requirements differ for APRNs?\",\"answer\":\"State requirements vary and may include more than completing the degree, such as passing exams for national certification, submitting applications, paying fees, and maintaining an active RN license in the state.
