Adult Health and Illness Emphasis on hold due to low enrollment numbers.

Description of the Program

This 44-credit masters emphasis may be completed in four semesters of full-time study and with the probability of one summer session. For those who wish to attend on a part-time basis, a varying number of credits should be taken each semester but the final semester is full-time. All work must be completed within 5 years of taking the first course.

Graduates are eligible to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam, and are eligible for Advanced Practice Nurse Prescriber status (after being certified) from the State of Wisconsin, Department of Regulation and Licensing.

Students register for their chosen culminating project after: 1) completion of Nursing 701, and 2) proposal approval by their project chairperson and committee if appropriate. The choices for culminating project include a clinical paper or a thesis.

Clinical Practica are designed according to course objectives and availability of practice sites. In practica, students function with guidance provided by College of Nursing faculty in conjunction with advanced practice nurses and physicians who serve as adjunct faculty. A collaborative advanced practice nurse-physician practice is considered important in meeting a wider scope of consumer health needs than either health professional could achieve in solo practice.
