The Adult/Gerontological NP curriculum is designed to
prepare graduates to provide primary care to
adolescents/adult/older adults in a variety of health care
settings. The graduate nurse works with Certified Nurse
Practitioner and Physician preceptors to assess, diagnose
and manage the preventive, episodic, and chronic care needs
of the population served in the specialty area.
The nurse Adult/Gerontological curriculum is comprised of 47
credit hours which include the core graduate nursing
courses, advanced practice core [advanced assessment and
advanced pharmacology], and the specialty role courses. In
addition, this program includes at least 500 hours of
clinical practice to permit the graduate to sit for a
national certification examination. Graduates whose
clinical focus and target population is adult health are
eligible to sit for certification as an adult NP. Graduates
whose clinical focus and target population is gerontological
are eligible to sit for the certification examination as a
gerontological NP. Successful completions of the national
examination allows the individual to use the title of
Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP). |
