Online Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Certificate Program (AGACNP Post-Graduate Certificate)
Expand Your Career With an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP Certification
If you’re an active APRN looking to boost your clinical competencies beyond primary care, you can expand your scope of practice and broaden your career opportunities by becoming certified to care for adults and older adults with acute and chronic conditions.
Rockhurst University’s online Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Certificate program (AGACNP Post-Graduate Certificate) provides you with the opportunity to become certified to care for adults and older adults in various care settings who present complex, acute, and emergent, life-threatening conditions.
In less than two decades, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that for the first time in U.S. history, older Americans will outnumber children. This demographic shift points to the rising need for health care providers. If you’re only certified in primary care, your scope of practice does not extend to the specialized, acute needs of adults and older adults.
Delivered by Saint Luke’s™ College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and guided by our Jesuit values, the online AGACNP Post-Graduate Certificate program can be completed in just four semesters. This service-oriented program focuses on scholarship, leadership, discovery, and ethical practices to prepare advanced practice nurses to care for the needs of the whole person.
