Adult Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Alumni

Alumni from Penn Nursing's Adult Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) program work in a variety of acute care settings and practice in different specialty areas. Here are some of their roles and accomplishments:

                                          Jane Cooper is an acute care nurse practitioner for a vascular surgery service primarily responsible for in-patient management. She is often consulted on by patients from other services and summoned to the ambulatory surgery clinic to perform a history and physical examination on patients scheduled for surgery. Jane collaborates with attending physicians, residents, and interns, but she is often the team member who best knows what is going on with the patients while other team members rotate on and off service. She finds her job rewarding and believes that her patients greatly benefit from her work as an acute care NP.
