Introduction

The health care landscape is constantly changing. As a nurse, you need to stay on top of the latest health practices, delivery systems, regulations, and administrative procedures. With research indicating a clear link between higher levels of nursing education and better patient outcomes, it’s no longer a luxury to update your knowledge; it’s a necessity.

The Nurse Practitioner options are designed to help prepare the professional nurse to function in an expanded nursing role providing direct care to specific groups of clients in various healthcare settings. Since that practice is inherently interdisciplinary in nature, advanced knowledge and research from nursing care combined with knowledge from science, medicine, and related disciplines, the Nurse Practitioner may also function in supervisory, consultative, education, and research roles. The program is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. Graduates are eligible for national certification and state licensure as a family nurse practitioner, adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner, or adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner. The Nurse Practitioner program is delivered on-site, with some courses offered online.
