Why study Adult-Gero Acute Care Nurse Practitioner?
The Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Post-Master's Certificate program prepares nurses to treat patients 13 and older with acute, critical and/or chronic episodes of illness, injury, or trauma in a wide range of settings, including hospitals and ambulatory care facilities and short-term stay settings in the home, office and clinic.
Admission Requirements
Students must have a current, unrestricted RN license; a Master of Science in Nursing degree from ACEN or CCNE accredited institution (with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0); and completed an undergraduate statistics course (with a minimum grade of C).
Individuals must reside in Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana while in this program.
Graduates of the AGACNP Certificate program meet criteria to take certification exams for AGACNP. The market for these advanced practice nurses continues to expand because of the aging population, changes that limit the hours of medical residents and the need for specialty care providers. Often, students are hired in an area in which they completed practicum experience.
Aspiring nurse practitioners who want to work in non-acute-care settings should instead explore the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care specialty.
Individuals seeking admission to this program should contact the College of Nursing Office of Student Recruitment to discuss licensing and Visa requirements for admission. Call 513-558-8400, or email nursingbearcats@uc.edu.
