Grow Your Nursing Career
The demand for practical knowledge and skills in the clinical setting provided by acute care nurse practitioners is growing. Our students graduate with the skills to effectively and competently stabilize acutely-ill patients, formulate diagnoses and evidence-based treatment plans, prescribe therapeutics, assess outcomes, prevent readmission and create safe discharge plans. Designed for the certified nurse practitioner or a master’s-prepared nurse with significant acute or critical care experience, our post-master’s certification will prepare you to sit for either the AACN or ANCC certification exam.
