Adult Nurse Practitioner Programs
Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP) Programs build on a registered nurse's prior baccalaureate education and nursing experience. A master's in nursing or post-master's certificate are the most common degree programs offered in this area of specialization. Students are prepared through a combination of didactic, theoretical and clinical learning environments to practice in an adult primary care setting. Below you will find select online Adult Nurse Practitioner programs as well as campus based programs and similar advanced practice nursing specialty programs.
Typically, an Adult Nurse Practitioner program involves role preparation where students learn assessment of the patient, the decision making process for both acute and chronic conditions and implementation of a treatment plan. Some common curriculum and clinical site experiences students have include pharmacology, health promotion, disease prevention, acute or urgent care, gerontology, primary care, pathophysiology and adult health primary care related subject areas. Clinical experiences are often arranged in the student's local area and sometimes at their current place of employment. Contact schools to learn more about the Adult NP program clinical requirements and to answer any questions pertaining to financial aid, application requests, admissions requirements and any other inquiries you may have.
