TERMS & CONDITIONS — FUNCTIONAL NURSING PROGRAM™

By enrolling in the Functional Nursing Program™, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions in addition to the Functional Nursing Membership™ Terms and Community Guidelines listed below.


 

Program Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: November 1, 2024

1. Program Access

Enrollment in the Functional Nursing Program™ includes access to:

  • Two semesters of educational content (152 approved contact hours)

  • One year of Functional Nursing Membership™

  • A full year of IFM Full Membership beginning the same month as semester one start date

  • Lifetime access to all course materials after enrollment

Functional Nursing Membership access is granted immediately upon registration to allow early learning and integration into the IFN community.


2. Continuing Education (CE) Requirements

Contact hours are awarded at the end of each semester after completing the final quiz and course evaluation.

CE certificates cannot be issued outside the active semester window in order to maintain accreditation compliance.


3. Refund Policy

Tuition includes immediate access to the Functional Nursing Membership™ as well IFM Full Membership activation closer to program start date; both are nonrefundable once activated.

Partial refunds for semester one or two may be available only if withdrawing before a semester begins.

Refund requests submitted after a semester has begun are not eligible for reimbursement.

For all qualifying refunds, the original payment processing fees are not returned to us by our payment partners. Because of this, any refund will be issued minus those non refundable processing fees. These fees are usually a small percentage of the original payment and vary slightly depending on the payment method used. Please note, payment plan fees are higher than other payment options.

If a customer uses a third party payment plan provider like Klarna, we will process the refund on our end and the provider will return any payments already made. Their processing fees are not refundable under any circumstances.


4. Deferrals & Program Completion

Because registration and support through the program occurs within the membership as well as the FNP program itself, formal deferrals to future cohorts are not offered.

Students retain lifetime access to all course content, and may re-engage with future cohorts by renewing their Functional Nursing Membership™ for continued mentorship and community support. By doing so, students may continue their learning with a future cohort, but no contact hours will be available for the deferred participation. This is a requirement for our institution to maintain its accreditation and offer contact hours for our programs and courses.

All program content—including videos, PDFs, frameworks, templates, and discussion audio/video components — is the intellectual property of the Institute for Functional Nursing™.

  • Educational Purpose Only: This platform is for professional learning and discussion, not for patient care decision-making.
  • No Direct Diagnoses or Prescriptions: Do not solicit or offer definitive diagnoses or treatment plans. Frame discussions as educational, not directive.

2. Giving and Receiving Advice

  • Language Matters: Frame advice in supportive and suggestive terms. Avoid phrases like "You should" or "You must." Instead, use language like "Consider trying" or "You might explore."
  • Peer Support, Not Substitution: This platform is for peer support. It is not a replacement for professional consultations or formal medical advice.
