Page A3 School of Nursing Proposal for a New Option in the Nursing Graduate Program A. Objective To add an additional nurse practitioner option to M.S. program in nursing. This option is Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. A.1 Revision Overview The School of Nursing’s present Master of Science program consists of a base program with four emphasis areas or a B.S. to PhD and three advanced practice nursing options. The Base Program emphasis areas include: nursing administration, nursing education, clinical trials research and community health policy and management. The advanced practice options include: Clinical Nurse Specialist, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner. This revision is for the following: Add a new option: Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (43-46 credits) These updated changes are being undertaken to incorporate new national standards and certification/licensure requirements for the nurse practitioners which requires specialization in both a population (eg, adult gerontology versus family) and practice focus acute/critical care versus primary care. The new option will also address a national and state-wide shortage of healthcare providers who have the education to function in an acute/critical care setting. All of the proposed courses are attached. B.
