Major: Nurse Practitioner , Pediatric Primary Care Degree Awarded: Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Calendar Type: Quarter Minimum Required Credits: 52.0 quarter credits; 640 clinical hours Co-op Option : None Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code: 51.3801 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code: 29-1141 About the Program The online Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (PNP) program is directed toward preparing nurse practitioners who will take advanced nursing roles as clinicians, educators, researchers and leaders in the rapidly changing, evidence-driven health care environment. The program emphasizes evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration and critical use of evolving technology in the care of children and their families. While most pediatric nurse practitioners practice in primary care settings, the continuum of child health care spans the geographic settings of home care, ambulatory care, specialty care, urgent care and rehabilitative care. Pediatric primary care nurse practitioners provide advanced nursing care across the continuum of health care services to meet the specialized physiologic and psychological needs of patients from infancy through adolescence and have competencies to manage well-child care as well as complex, acute and chronic health care conditions within a family-centered health care model. Graduates are eligible to sit for the ANCC’s Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Examination and/or the PNCB’s Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Examination. The nurse practitioner faculty is committed to quality and excellence in the nurse practitioner (NP) programs. Students meet on campus for mandatory On-Campus Intensive (OCI) learning experiences, simulation and evaluation. Students will attend an in-person on-campus intensive in NURS 642 for four days during week one of the summer quarter. Dates are subject to change. During the OCIs, students engage in simulated clinical learning experiences conducted in the College of Nursing and Health Professions' state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary patient simulation lab. These visits provide direct guidance and mentoring from faculty and the opportunity to collaborate with peers.  Mandatory, on-campus visits are essential to students transitioning into the NP role. The program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
