Overview

Key Features

For nearly two decades, the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) program at Northeastern University has prepared primary care PNPs to provide community-based, culturally sensitive primary care. More recently, building on our foundation in evidence-based, interdisciplinary, urban healthcare, we expanded the PNP program into acute care. We are the only graduate nursing program in New England to prepare acute-care PNPs.

The School of Nursing offers two tracks for the pediatric nurse practitioner student. The primary care tract prepares students for the role of pediatric nurse practitioner focusing on well child care and prevention, and management of common acute and chronic illnesses. The dual track prepares students for the primary care role as well as the acute care role. Pediatric acute care nurse practitioners are prepared to care for patients with acute, complex, critical, and chronic illness in a variety of settings.

Unique Features

Students may choose the primary care track or obtain dual specialization in both acute and primary care
Completion of this program allows students to sit for the Pediatric Primary Care certification exam
Completion of the dual specialization curriculum allows students to sit for the Acute Care PNP certification exam
The only graduate nursing program in New England to prepare acute-care PNPs
This program is appropriate for licensed nurses who do not possess a master's degree in nursing
