The School of Nursing offers a certificate of advanced study for experienced nurses who have a master’s degree in nursing and want to specialize in neonatal critical care. Applicants are required to have at least two years of level-3 or greater of neonatal intensive care unit experience before entering the program; most applicants have greater relevant experience. One year of full-time study offers the student an opportunity to increase skills and experience and enables the student to sit for the neonatal nurse practitioner certification exam offered by the National Certification Corporation for the obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nursing specialties.
