How the FNP hours break down
The Chamberlain MSN-FNP requires 625 supervised clinical hours across five 125-hour practicum courses. Each practicum runs about seven weeks, and the sequence carries you across the lifespan in primary care.
Hours by track
| MSN-FNP | 625 hours · five 125-hour courses (verified) |
|---|---|
| PMHNP | Several 7-week practicum courses · hours confirmed to your program |
| AGPCNP | Several 7-week practicum courses · hours confirmed to your program |
| AGACNP | Several 7-week practicum courses · hours confirmed to your program |
| DNP | Practice/immersion hours per your program of study |
For specialties other than FNP we confirm your exact required hours against your Chamberlain program of study before you start, we never quote a number we can’t verify for your track.
How hours are logged and what counts
Chamberlain NP students and preceptors record practicum hours and patient encounters in Typhon. Only hours at an approved site, under your approved preceptor, after the affiliation agreement and Complio clearance are in place, count toward the requirement.
We track your logged hours and your preceptor’s sign-offs to the full total, and step in early if a site or a signature is lagging.
Planning so you don’t lose hours
Confirm your exact requirement before the term, line the preceptor and site up months ahead, and keep Complio current, an expired immunization or a late background check can stall an otherwise-approved placement.
