Herzing University: Post Master's Certificate - Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner

Program Overview

The Post Master's Certificate in Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner is a 33-credit post-graduate program which prepares you for a career as a PNP-PC. The online post-graduate certificate program provides students with fundamental knowledge and skills in advanced pathophysiology and pharmacology, healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents, PNP-PC clinical decision-making, health promotion, and much more.

All didactic (lecture-style) classes are delivered online with an additional 585 hours of clinicals, which are distributed across several required courses. Clinical and contact hours are crucial to build upon academic study and apply what you've learned in a real practice environment to fully prepare you for success as a PNP-PC right from the start.

Herzing's Clinical Pledge

Herzing understands securing clinical placement as part of an PNP program is one of the biggest concerns students face. That is why Herzing offers guidance and support through their step-by-step Clinical Guidance Process to ensure you can get the clinical practice experiences you need.

As a Herzing student, you are encouraged to find your own preceptor and clinical sites as there are many benefits to doing so. However, Herzing provides extensive support should you find difficulty along the way. With Herzing, you are never on your own.

Because of Herzing's strong relationships with healthcare providers across the U.S. and their comprehensive Clinical Guidance Process, Herzing is confident in their ability to help you find clinical placement. So much so that if you are unable to find a clinical site on your own, we pledge to step in and help you secure clinical placement. *
