Nurse Practitioner Courses

Registered nurses (RNs) are eligible to receive state licensure when successful on the NCLEX-RN national examination proctored by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are eligible to receive state licensure when successful on a certification exam sponsored by an accrediting organization specific to the APRN track. NPs have a broader range of practice than RN, including diagnosing and treating illnesses, prescribing medications, and practicing with autonomy similar to that of a physician.

To transition from the role of RN to being an NP, you will need to pursue a graduate degree in nursing and choose a specialization. How long NP school takes depends on your previous qualifications and the number of clinical hours required. It may be between 2 and 4 years.
Lecturio has a full curriculum on the “three Ps of advanced practice academic preparation:” advanced pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment. Video Lessons, Concept Pages, Recall Quizzes, and Qbank items assist you to build a strong foundation for subsequent courses in primary care of families, adults, and geriatric populations.

The purpose of Lecturio’s NP curriculum is to provide students with support during their NP school program.

With Lecturio, you have access to over 3000 NP certification-style questions across the curriculum and over 3,100 Recall Quiz questions embedded within each video to help test knowledge and encourage repetition of major concepts, preparing you to be successful on your certification exams.
However, at this time, it is not designed to serve as a stand-alone board preparation program.

Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants, and medical students are expected to acquire extensive knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Lecturio’s curricula are designed to provide all advanced care providers with a strong foundation of medical knowledge.

In it’s entirety, Lecturio’s NP program best supports family nurse practitioners (FNPs) and adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioners (AGPCN). However, we do offer advanced pathophysiology, advanced pharmacology, and advanced health assessment courses that acute care nurse practitioner students take as well.
