If you are interested in pursuing the Nurse Practitioner certificate in either family or adult-gerontology acute care, you must already have a Master of Science in Nursing degree. The time it takes to complete the certification is dependent upon the individual. You will be given a personal advisor who will work with you to determine the number of credits necessary to complete this track.
