The Women's and Children's Health specialization prepares advanced practice nurses who will synthesize knowledge and skills of the clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner roles for practice in urban and rural, acute care and community based settings.
Emphasis is placed on the family.
Options in women's health, children's health, or neonatal nursing are provided. A Post Master's certificate program is available to individuals who already have earned an MSN and are seeking specialization in women's health, children's health, or neonatal nursing. Advanced practice nurses positively affect health in their communities. The program of study is flexible through distance learning. Students can receive most of their educational experience where they live.
