Plan Description
Individuals who already have a master’s degree in nursing, and meet the admission qualifications will be allowed to take courses as a non-degree student. No degree will be awarded, but a certificate documenting completion of the course work will be provided and transcripts showing completion of the courses will be available. Each individual applicant will be evaluated to determine the courses required in order to complete the specific certificate program. Additional courses beyond the minimum courses needed for the certificate program may be required if the applicant’s earned MS in nursing lack courses required by the UNLV School of Nursing.
This pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) post-master’s certificate program will allow those who already hold a master’s degree in nursing to return to UNLV to obtain specialization as a pediatric nurse practitioner.
