Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Certificate
The Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) Certificate provides a route for nurse practitioners who already hold a graduate degree (MSN or DNP) in nursing with certification in an existing APRN population focus who seek a second area of specialization in neonatal health. You will build upon your advanced practice nursing knowledge and engage in courses that will prepare you to provide acute, chronic, critical and primary care to neonates and children through the age of two. A part-time program of study option is available.
