Doctor of Nursing Practice

Passion into Research. Research into Practice.

Are you a nurse who is ready to be even more of a change agent? As you may know, nurse practitioners are in demand and enjoy a wide range of career options thanks in part to the expansion of Scope of Practice laws, changes to health care reform, and the aging baby boom generation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that by 2026, the nurse practitioner field will grow by 31 percent. The Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares nurses to become leaders in the healthcare field.
