A postgraduate certificate can help nurses with a master’s or higher in nursing to gain additional specialized knowledge in important areas. Acquiring a postgraduate nursing certificate can help you grow as you switch to or add on a new nursing specialty, such as Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Executive, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, or Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. After completing a postgraduate nursing certificate, nurses can choose to pursue certification relevant to their area of study.
Our Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Postgraduate Certificate program is designed to help prepare you to provide advanced nursing care to adults, older adults, and elderly patients with acute, chronic, and critical conditions.
