Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioners (AGACNP) assess, diagnose and manage acutely ill patients in hospital and hospital-to-clinic settings.

The advanced skills of the AGACNP may be used in emergency departments, intensive care units, intermediate care units and specialty clinics such as cardiology or neurology.

Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioners focus on populations needing critical care and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, disability and/or injury.

Graduates will be prepared to take the certification exam and assume advanced leadership roles for the targeted populations.

During the AGACNP practicum courses, students come to campus one time per semester during the four practicum courses to learn “hands on” skills.
