This new program will prepare advanced practice nurses who have an MSN or DNP for the care and treatment of patients with cancer. Completion of the program provides eligibility for certification by the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC)/Oncology Nursing Society as an Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Practitioner (AOCNP).
The Post-Master’s certificate prepares advanced practice nurses for the care and treatment of patients with cancer. The hybrid, 18-credit program encompasses the various facets of cancer at the biologic level as well as the patient and family experience. These include the management of physical, psychological, and social problems resulting from cancer - the prevention, early detection, active treatment, survivorship, and end of life issues, as well as the cellular and biological changes of cancer. It also includes the role of genetics, the immune system and lifestyle choices in oncogenesis, epidemiology, pathology, and treatment of cancer types.
The program is available to those that hold at least an MSN and are board certified APRN.
