24.0 quarter credits
This certificate is offered to those
individuals who have earned a master's degree in nursing and seek further
preparation in another area of nursing. Transcripts will be reviewed
and course work will be determined on an individual basis. Students meet
on campus for a mandatory on-campus Residency at the beginning of the
clinical practicum rotations and at the end of the clinical practicum
rotations.
Program of Study
All post-master’s students in Nurse Practitioner Tracks must transfer
in three credits (quarter or semester) of master’s-level Advanced Pathophysiology
or Advanced Physiology, Advanced Pharmacology, and Advanced Physical Assessment. If these courses are not transferred in they must be taken at Drexel prior to
the first clinical course. Students should check with the MSN Program
Coordinator for the exact schedule. Acute Care Pharmacology is required prior
to beginning the clinical courses.
