M.S.N. Nurse Practitioner Programs:
Pediatric Primary Care Practitioner Track
55 quarter credits; 640 clinical hours
The Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner track is directed toward preparing nurse practitioners who will take advanced nursing roles as clinicians, educators, researchers, and leaders in the rapidly changing, evidence-driven health care environment. The program emphasizes evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and critical use of evolving technology in the care of children and their families. While most pediatric nurse practitioners practice in primary care settings, the continuum of child health care spans the geographic settings of home care, ambulatory care, specialty care practice, urgent care, and rehabilitative care. Pediatric nurse practitioners provide advanced nursing care across the continuum of health care services to meet the specialized physiologic and psychologic needs of patients from infancy through adolescence, and have competencies to manage well-child care as well as complex, acute, and chronic health care conditions within a family-centered health care model. Graduates are eligible to sit for ANCC’s Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Examination and/ or PNCB’s Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Examination.
See the College's M.S.N. Nurse Practitioner Programs web site for more information.
