Are you considering becoming an NNP? At the University of Texas at Arlington we pride ourselves on the flexibility that our MSN program offers with a blended format which reduces time on campus. We are in the process of further refining our program to be one that requires a minimum of on-campus time. Beginning in fall of 2013, nurses from all over the country will be able take advantage of this excellent NNP program taught by nationally recognized faculty in a technologically rich environment. In addition, students may transition seamlessly into the DNP program at UTA upon completion of their MSN.
The NNP Program prepares graduates to manage the care of neonates and their families. The spectrum of clinical experiences vary from chronic, stable patients in long term care facilities through the acute and critical phase of illnesses/trauma requiring hospitalization in level II and III NICUs. The classroom experiences focus on diagnostic reasoning, and disease management with advanced therapeutics. Graduates are prepared to be recognized as advanced practice nurses by the Board of Nursing and to take the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner National Certification Exam through the National Certification Corporation.
