Expand your expertise with our postgraduate Adult Gerontology Primary Care graduate certificate program.
As the general population ages, there is an exponential demand for greater numbers of nurse practitioners to meet the primary care needs of adults. With an advanced nursing degree in adult gerontology primary care, you make a difference in the well-being of your clients in physician offices, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, home healthcare and assisted living facilities.
Our advanced certificate programs, including the adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner certificate, were designed for students who already hold a master’s degree in nursing and provide an educational route to specialize in an area other than the concentration in their master’s program.
Adelphi University offers our nursing students uniquely tailored experiences by simulating the hospital setting in our newly opened Nexus Building that is over 100,000 square feet, with simulation labs, telepresence robots and a smart-home healthcare system.
Our state-of-the-art simulation lab provides our nursing students with the highest-quality simulation technology in a learning environment that is safe so they receive the education, practice and exposure they need when applying for their first job in the nursing fields.
Students within our nursing programs have access to two simulation manikins:
During a high-fidelity simulation, a faculty member provides remote support to nursing students to guide them through a variety of clinical scenarios.
Telepresence robots like this one are used for remote monitoring in CESiL’s home-care suite as well as in the growing home healthcare field. They enhance both nursing and healthcare informatics students’ educational experience.
For College of Nursing and Public Health nursing students, learning in the various CESiL simulated settings and situations is like training in a real hospital. That experience was especially invaluable in the midst of the pandemic, nursing students said.
By practicing their clinical skills in a realistic hospital setting and learning how to safely and accurately administer medications, nursing students become well prepared for their first RN jobs.
Here, a cohort of students addresses an emergency code situation with a high-fidelity manikin and gains experience in electronic medical record processes. Various manikins, supportive supplies and state-of-the-art equipment enable faculty and students to translate theory into practice.
Faculty use this pediatric manikin to train their students in everything from routine to emergency experiences. When used with an obesity suit, the manikin enables nurses to learn about the treatment of child obesity, a growing problem in the 6-to-9 age bracket.
Victoria, a high-fidelity maternal simulator manikin, arrived at CESiL with two baby manikins in March 2019—able to simulate a complete range of situations that nurses may face in the delivery room, from typical neonatal care to obstetric emergencies.
Gratitude is shown for Adelphi faculty, students and alumni from the College of Nursing and Public Health who are battling the coronavirus pandemic.
