MSNG - Master of Science in Nursing ~ Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner

Courses in the curriculum are designed to meet the needs of adult learners who are motivated to complete this graduate program in seven semesters over 27 months. The MSN program core content will be shared between the program tracks of MSN Nurse Educator and MSN AGNP in the five core MSN courses. The MSN content meets the standards for the Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing that are required for accreditation in any MSN program track (AACN, 2011). The APRN track curriculum was developed by a group of experienced PSJH caregivers working as APRNs in the Montana, Washington and Oregon ministries. The design team used the mission, vision and values from UP and PSJH, as well as the national standards from AACN, NONPF and the NTF, to serve as foundation for AGNP track development.

The University of Providence Master of Science Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program prepares advanced practice registered nurses who demonstrate compassion, commitment and excellence to primary care for adult patients (adolescents through older adults), especially the poor and vulnerable. Upon completion of this degree, the graduate is eligible for the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner certification and state licensure as an APRN.
