According to the December 2010 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) Surveillance Summaries Report put out by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 86.9% of adults in Delaware reported good or better health in 2008. In addition, this report also cited that 93.6% of adult Delaware residents had healthcare coverage in 2008. This high level of health care coverage is due to medical professionals of all levels working as a team. One vital member of this health care team is the family nurse practitioner. Family nurse practitioners work collaboratively with other members of the team to provide comprehensive, quality health care for local, rural clinics as well as in larger urban hospitals such as the Alfred I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington and the Bayhealth Medical Center in Dover. Family nurse practitioner programs in Delaware empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide a wide range of health care services by being primary care advisors in clinics and community health organizations.
Following successful completion of a BSN, individuals seeking to become a family nurse practitioner in Delaware would need to complete a master’s degree or doctoral degree in nursing. At least a year of clinical experience working as a BSN is required for many family nurse practitioner programs.
