Program Description

Nurse practitioners provide primary care across the life span through direct nursing care, consultation, collaboration, coordination, and referral. These health care services are provided in a variety of settings including neighborhood centers, private practices, school-based clinics, and in the home. Our Primary Care Nursing specialization has three tracks that prepare pediatric, adult/older adult, and family nurse practitioners to provide quality health care across the age continuum. In addition to the traditional Primary Care Nursing program, we offer a Certified Nurse Practitioner's Master's Completion Program, and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in all three tracks of primary care specialization. Upon completion of the primary care program, graduates are eligible to sit for all national certification exams in their area of practice.
