MS Adult and Gerontology Primary Care Nursing

The graduate program at Northeastern University enables nurse practitioners to articulate a theoretical base for practice and recognize competencies necessary for the provision of health care to individuals, families, and communities. Graduate preparation expands the comprehensiveness of the nurse practitioner role to include participation in and use of research development, implementation of health policy, leadership, education, case management, and consultation. Upon completion of the primary care program, graduates are eligible to sit for all national certification exams in their area of practice.
