Family nurse practitioner programs in Arkansas are intended for registered nurses who want to provide for patients’ health care needs through assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation. Schools may be found online and within the state to train nurses who already have their Arkansas RN license, but who wish to become family nurse practitioners. Family nurse practitioners in Arkansas must complete a minimum of a master’s degree program under laws set forth by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. For nurses who already have a master’s degree, a post-master’s certificate in a family nurse practitioner program must be earned.

While many classes in a family nurse practitioner program in Arkansas may be completed online, the required clinical portion of one’s program must be completed at an approved hospital or other medical facility. Examples of medical facilities in Arkansas in which clinical training may occur include North Arkansas Regional Medical Center in Harrison, South Arkansas Regional Health Center in El Dorado, Saint Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock, Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock and White County Medical Center in Searcy.

Once schooling is completed, certification achieved, and licensing with the state is accomplished, positions for family nurse practitioners in Arkansas are available within hospitals, medical facilities, long term care facilities, private and group practices, home health, and community settings.
