Overview

The Adult Acute Care track in the graduate program is designed to prepare nurses to deliver acute and/or critical care to adult clients in a variety of settings.

The didactic curriculum will provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in biophysiological science, pharmacotherapeutics, acute and/or critical care concepts, advanced assessments, and diagnostic skills as a basis for clinical practice.

The clinical component consists of a minimum of 630 hours of guided experience in select areas under the mentorship of an advanced practice nurse or a physician.

Plans of study are designed by faculty with individual consideration given to students’ goals and geographic locations. Graduates are eligible to take the ANCC certification exam as acute care nurse practitioners and for state certification as acute care nurse practitioners.
