Family Nurse Practitioner

Military experience taking comprehensive histories, performing physical examinations, interpreting diagnostic data, and implementing primary care plans directly supports civilian family nurse practitioner work.

How to prepare: Ask the nursing board in your intended state of practice to review your current licenses, graduate education, and national certification against its APRN requirements. Requirements vary by state but generally include an RN license, an accredited graduate-level program, national certification, and an APRN license.

  • Analyze and interpret patients' histories, symptoms, physical findings, or diagnostic information to develop appropriate diagnoses.
  • Develop treatment plans, based on scientific rationale, standards of care, and professional practice guidelines.
  • Maintain complete and detailed records of patients' health care plans and prognoses.
