Course overview
The current healthcare environment offers new opportunities and a growing demand for advanced practice registered nurses.

The scope of practice for APRNs varies from state to state. This module will provide initial guidance to an RN who is interested in returning to school to attain an advanced degree and transition to become an APRN.
