Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate
The Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) Certificate option at St. Catherine University provides an educational route for nurse practitioners who already hold a graduate degree in nursing with certification in an existing APRN population focus who seek a second area of specialization in adult and geriatric health. You will build upon your advanced practice nursing knowledge and engage in courses that will prepare you to provide holistic health care to adults and older adults in the primary care settings.
