Course Overview

You don’t need a BSN to earn the education you need to become an Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP). Our accelerated RN to AGACNP program is designed for current licensed Registered Nurses (RN) with an associate degree in nursing (ADN/ASN) looking to advance into a new career path as a nurse practitioner specializing in the adult/geriatric patient population.

Earn the degree you need to apply for certification as an AGACNP and advance your career to the next level:

• Learn online in Herzing’s Everywhere Classroom: on your schedule, at your pace

• Class topics include undergraduate and graduate-level study in nursing leadership and management, community health nursing, nursing informatics, health policy, skills and procedures for acute care, and much more.

• Prepare for the certification exam from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)

• Post-master’s pathways: after graduating with an MSN, you can potentially transfer credit into a Post-master’s certificate program with your choice of several concentrations

We support your first big step towards practicing as an acute care NP. Your new career path IS possible with Herzing University.
