Program Sertifikata za Postdiplomske Studije Porodične Medicinske Sestre

Are you looking to expand or change your advanced practice nursing role? Our post-graduate certificates allow nurses who already hold a master’s degree the opportunity to specialize in an area other than that obtained in their master’s program.

The Family Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Certificate (FNP PGC) program is available to registered nurses who hold a Master of Science in Nursing or Doctor of Nursing Practice degree who desire to continue their education and expand their skill set to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Students who complete the FNP Post-Graduate Certificate program will be prepared for a new professional path and the many roles and responsibilities of a primary care provider.

The FNP Post-Graduate Certificate is a variable credit-hour program, dependent on prior education and certification. A Gap analysis that considers prior education and experience will be conducted for each applicant to determine an individual course of study.

The program can be completed in approximately 24 to 36 months.

Upon successfully completing program requirements, a certificate is awarded, and students are eligible to apply for American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) certification or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification (AANP) as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

GAP ANALYSIS

Following the 2016 Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs report, applicants who hold a graduate degree in nursing can apply to the FNP Post-Graduate Certificate program where previous education and practice (as applicable) will be used to determine an individual course of study. The completion of required didactic courses and clinical hours can be flexible depending upon waived credits hours. Each student admitted as a candidate for the FNP Post-Graduate Certificate program will complete a Gap Analysis. Plans of study will be individualized according to academic didactic and clinical needs.
