MSN ADULT/GERONTOLOGICAL PRIMARY CARE NURSE PRACTITIONER WITH HIV/MPH DUAL DEGREE This dual specialty track prepares the student to provide person-centered evidenced based primary care to young adults (including late adolescents and emancipated minors), adults, and older adults (including young-old, old, and old-old adults). Emphasis is placed on the primary care management of acute episodic and chronic conditions and integration of health promotion and disease prevention throughout the adult lifespan. In addition, the HIV certificate prepares the student to provide primary care for persons living with HIV, thus providing early diagnosis and care associated with chronic disease management and aging with HIV/AIDS as well as the general primary care patient. The joint degree also integrates nurse practitioner clinical practice with a population-based public health perspective. The MSN-NP/MPH is designed specifically for nurses seeking to link their clinical interests with public health practice. This combined program prepares nurse practitioners with a focus in public health, and knowledge of population-based public health science and practice. Obtaining the joint degree allows students to acquire the complementary skills, knowledge, and perspective of both disciplines. Graduate education in nursing equips students with advanced mastery of nursing theory and practice, while public health training provides a population-based, multi-disciplinary team approach.

MSN PEDIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER/MPH DUAL DEGREE This specialty track prepares the student to integrate nurse practitioner clinical practice with a population-based public health perspective. The MSN-NP/MPH is designed specifically for nurses seeking to link their clinical interests with public health practice. This combined program prepares nurse practitioners with a focus in community health, and knowledge of population-based public health science and practice. Nurses in advanced practice often return to school at a later time for a degree in public health to make their approach to individual health problems more comprehensive. Obtaining the joint degree at the outset, students acquire the complementary skills, knowledge and perspective of both disciplines. Graduate education in nursing equips students with advanced mastery of nursing theory and practice, while public health training provides a population-based, multi-disciplinary team approach. From the Pediatric Nurse Practitioners perspective, the program prepares the student to: care for children, from newborn through adolescence, and includes the management of well children and management in illness. Strong emphasis is placed on the use of evidence based practice and patient / family centered care. The development of the curriculum is based on the National Task Force Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs (2012), the Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies (2011), and Population- Focused Nurse Practitioner Competencies: Pediatric Primary Care (2013) (NONPF). More than 600 hours of mentored patient care experiences enable graduates to sit for available national certification exams. For the Public health nursing perspective, the curriculum is based on standards and guidelines [Scope and Standards of Practice Public Health (2013); Public Health Competencies from the Quad Council of Public Health Organizations (2011)] and the Essentials for 2003 Masters Level Education from the Association for Community Health Educators (ACHNE); Core Competencies for Public Health (2014). Clinical practica and number of clinical hours: Clinical experiences are diverse and include a variety of settings, such as primary care practices, outpatient specialty clinics, and schools. Mentored patient care experiences based on the individual needs of the student are a cornerstone of the program. Fulltime and part-time study is available. Students complete 584 clinical hours and 224 practicum hours related to public health and public health nursing for a total of 808 clinical hours focusing on the care of children. Certification: Graduates are eligible to apply for the Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner credentialing examination through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (http://www.nursecredentialing.org/pediatricnp) or Pediatric Certification Board (http://www.pncb.org/ptistore/control/exams/pnp/steps). A new assessment methodology to achieve ANCC board certification in advanced public health nursing is in place. Although no exam is required, certification through portfolio is required.

ADULT/GERONTOLOGICAL ACUTE CARE NURSE PRACTITIONER POST MASTER S CERTIFICATE This post master s track prepares the student to diagnose and manage health problems of acutely, chronically and critically ill individuals across the adult lifespan. Adult Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioners work in acute and complex care settings such as critical care units, hospitals, and specialty services and in other settings where patients are physiologically unstable, technologically dependent, require frequent monitoring and intervention, or are highly vulnerable for complications. Clinical experiences in a variety of settings allow students to acquire experience providing patient care management across the full adult lifespan (young adults to frail elders) and the continuum of acute, chronic and critical care. Gerontology rich experiences in complex long term care, acute rehabilitation, Acute Care of Elders (ACE) units and Nurses Improving Care of Healthcare for Elders (NICHE) hospitals are included. The Post Master s option is designed for Registered Nurses who have recent full time acute/critical care experience and who have already earned an advanced master s degree in nursing (e.g. clinical nurse specialist, nurse educator, nursing management, etc.), experienced certified adult, family or geriatric primary care nurse practitioners who have previous acute care experience, to meet the educational requirements and competencies for certification as an Adult/Gerontology acute care nurse practitioner. After a careful review of an applicant s master s transcript (a gap analysis), a streamlined 8 25 credit plan of study is created which emphasizes the adult/gerontology acute care NP population competency requirements. The development of the curriculum is based on the Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs (2012), and other national advanced practice population focused standards and guidelines (AACN Scope and Standards Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Practice [American Association of Critical Care Nurses, 2012], and the Adult - Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Competencies [American Association of Colleges of, 2012]). Clinical practica and number of clinical hours: More than 500 hours of precepted clinical experiences in a variety of settings allow students to acquire experience managing the health care needs of adults, older adults and frail elders across the continuum of acute, chronic and critical care.

ADULT/GERONTOLOGICAL HEALTH CLINICAL NURSE SPECIALIST POST MASTER S CERTIFICATE This specialty track prepares the student to ensure high quality, safe, and cost effective nursing care and patient outcomes for adults and older adults across the health-illness continuum. Graduates of the CNS track use their depth of expertise, developed through professional practice and graduate education, to provide, manage, support, and improve the nursing and health care provided to patients with chronic and acute illnesses. CNSs advance the care of patients, families, groups and the nursing profession through collaboration, consultation and teaching. They conduct research and evaluate and apply evidence and use ethical decision making to solve problems. CNSs operate within three spheres of influence, including patients, nurses, and care systems. The Post Master s option is designed for Registered Nurses who have recent full time acute/critical care experience and who have already earned an advanced master s degree in nursing (e.g. nurse practitioner, nurse educator, nursing management, etc.), a master s degree with preparation for practice as a CNS which was not consistent with current certification requirements. Graduates will meet the educational requirements and competencies for certification as an Adult/Gerontology CNS. After a careful review of an applicant s master s transcript, a streamlined individualized 1 26 credit plan of study is created which emphasizes the adult/gerontology CNS population competency requirements. 540 hours of precepted clinical experiences in a variety of settings allow students to acquire experience managing the health care needs of adults, older adults and frail elders across the continuum of acute and chronic care. The development of the curriculum is based on the Criteria for the Evaluation of Clinical Nurse Specialist Master s, Practice Doctorate, and Post-graduate Certificate Educational Programs (NACNS, 2011), and national CNS competency and standards statements (Clinical Nurse Specialist Core Competencies [NACNS 2009], Adult Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist Competencies [American Association of Colleges of, 2010]).
