The Adult Gerontology-Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Certificate program offers specialized training for registered nurses with graduate degrees who wish to pursue certification as Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioners (AG-ACNPs). This program fulfills the educational requirements needed to sit for the national certification exam, which mandates completion of both coursework and clinical training through either a graduate certificate or Master's-level NP program. Designed for nurses who already hold an advanced nursing degree, this certificate pathway eliminates the need to pursue an additional graduate degree while preparing students for AG-ACNP certification.
