Seton Hall University Online Nurse Practitioner Programs – AGNP, PNP, PMHNP

The College of Nursing at Seton Hall University offers an online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Post-Master’s Certificate programs with three specializations: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP), Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP), and Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (PNP-PC). Coursework is delivered 100% online with an online orientation and two required campus intensives during the middle and end of the program. Note that the orientation may be completed online instead of on-campus. Students also complete practicums at approved facilities local to the student.

In addition, an online MSN and RN to MSN Bridge program are available with a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specialization. There may also be Post-Master’s Certificate and BSN to DNP programs available in the PMHNP specialization. Interested students should inquire with the Seton Hall College of Nursing. The PMHNP specialization is 100% online with no campus visits required. Students also complete 600 clinical hours locally.

Throughout the MSN, BSN to DNP, and post-master’s certificate programs, students learn how to advocate for their patients, develop collaborative relationships with patients, families, and care teams, and carry out ethical, clinical decision-making through critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The College of Nursing focuses on preparing competent, compassionate nurse practitioners to serve in their communities. Faculty provide mentoring and career support, giving students one-on-one attention. In addition, Seton Hall is a Catholic university, interweaving values of service, lifelong learning, and leadership into their curriculum.

Adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioners (AGACNPs) work with complex health issues of acutely ill adult patients. Typical settings may include surgical units, intensive care units, and critical care settings in hospitals. They develop assessment and management plans, work with health care teams, patients, and their families, and incorporate pathophysiologic, cultural, and pharmacotherapeutic principles into patient care. Graduates of this track are eligible to take the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care certification exams through American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB), as well as the certification exam through the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).

Adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioners (AGPCNPs) work with adults and aging adults in primary care settings as well as long-term care settings. They create, assess, and manage health care treatment plans to create a better quality of life. Bringing cultural, pharmacotherapeutic, and pathophysiologic principles into their care plans, AGPCNPs utilize critical thinking skills and ethical decision-making in treating patients. Graduates of this specialization are eligible to take the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care certification exams through ANCC and AANPCB.

Pediatric primary care nurse practitioners (PNP-PCs) serve patients from birth to age 21, focusing on health promotion, disease prevention, and caring for patients with acute and chronic conditions. Graduates of this track are eligible to take the national certification in Primary Care through either the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB).

Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) treat patients across the lifespan and are able to assess, diagnose, and treat families, groups, and individuals in regards to psychiatric disorders. Focus is placed on relationship building which can improve treatment and lead to better communication with client groups. Faculty all have a DNP or PhD and are fully qualified to train upcoming PMHNPs who will be eligible upon graduation to take the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification exam through the ANCC.

Nurse practitioners may work in specialty areas such as oncology, occupational health, neurology, pulmonary, cardiology, rheumatology, and GI. Positions may be found in hospitals, primary care clinics, hospices, government institutions, long-term health facilities, research organizations, urgent care facilities, home health care settings, and treatment centers.

Seton Hall University is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA). The nursing programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Seton Hall University is located in South Orange, New Jersey.
