Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioners (A/GACNP)
As an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, you will provide care to patients over age 18, including older adults, both in hospitals and clinics. As you care for acutely ill patients, you will use evidence-based practice to assess patients, provide complex monitoring, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and develop complex treatment plans. You will focus on managing ongoing problems and preventing complications to support the best patient care outcomes.
Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)
The PMHNP program prepares the graduate to provide care for individuals across the lifespan (infant to adult), families, and populations at risk for psychiatric or mental health disorders. A PMHNP provides care to include the assessment, diagnosis, and management of psychiatric and mental health disorders across the lifespan.
