The Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) certificate prepares students to provide advanced level care in complex, acute, and critical settings for adult and geriatric patients. AGACNPs assess, diagnose, and treat patients by ordering and interpreting labs and diagnostic tests, perform procedures, coordinate care to manage acute, subacute, and complex patients, as well as those with chronic illness, and evaluate the outcomes of interventions for patients.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to the California Board of Registered Nursing for certification as a nurse practitioner and will be eligible to apply for national certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN).
