Nurse Practitioner
The online Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) program is designed to prepare practitioners for professional practice in the acute management of medical, surgical, and critical care for adult and older-adult patient populations. This certificate is offered to individuals who have earned a master's degree in nursing and seek further preparation as an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. Graduates will be eligible to sit for the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Certification Examination of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and/or the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
The nurse practitioner (NP) faculty is committed to quality and excellence in the NP programs. Students meet on campus for mandatory On Campus Intensive (OCI) learning experiences, simulation, and evaluation. OCI visits occur two to four times during the clinical portion of the program and range from two to three days. Mandatory on-campus visits are essential to students transitioning into the NP role.
During the OCIs, students engage in simulated clinical learning experiences conducted in the College of Nursing and Health Professions' state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary patient simulation lab. These visits provide direct guidance and mentoring from faculty as well as the opportunity to collaborate with peers.
