Graduate Certificate - Adult/Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist (19 S.H.)

This certificate program is designed to integrate the Post-Nursing Master’s students into some of the existing courses in the Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist program. This option provides nurses that already have graduate degree nursing preparation in another area of nursing the opportunity to acquire the education, skills, and abilities to seek certification and practice as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist. Some of the courses are offered using distance teaching strategies and one course has been developed to acquire the skills and education for prescriptive authority in Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist practice.
