Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate
24.0 credits
The Post-Master's Certificate Program 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.
Psychopharmacology is required prior to beginning the clinical courses.
