The Gerontological Nurse Practitioner (GNP) online sequence prepares the student to become an advanced practice nurse with specialized education in the diagnosis, treatment and management of acute and chronic conditions often found among older adults and generally associated with aging. Many such conditions lead to functional decline, require therapeutic interventions to restore or maintain an optimal level of function, or when appropriate, palliative care at the end of life. Practice sites of GNPs include traditional ambulatory care clinics, care management organizations, acute and subacute hospitals, private home care, and all levels of long term care. Graduates of the GNP sequence are eligible to take the GNP certification examination and to become licensed as an advanced practice nurse.
