Overview

The graduate nursing programs at Edgewood College hold a mission designed to develop nurses into leaders with advanced knowledge, Dominican values, and the ability to contribute to the changing, diverse healthcare environment. Advanced practice roles in nursing require further enhancement of critical reasoning and decision making skills as theory is translated into practice.

About the programme

Here at Edgewood College we offer two tracks to reach your educational and professional goals of becoming a Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care Adult Gerontology. You can choose to either complete only the Master of Science in Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) or continue on to add on the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-Executive Leadership degree as well.

The MSN Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) concentration is designed for nursing professionals seeking to expand their scope of practice to providing direct care for young adults, adults, older adults, and elderly.

Through didactic courses in advanced pathophysiology, advanced physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and differential diagnoses as well as advanced practice clinical experiences, this program imparts the expertise needed to manage the primary health care needs of patients, families, and the community.

Graduates will be eligible to sit for the Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam or the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner certification exam.
