The Family Nurse Practitioner DNP program prepares you to provide care for patients of all ages, using a broad-based perspective with a family practice approach.
Program Overview
At Rutgers School of Nursing, we prepare family nurse practitioners to promote, maintain, and restore the health of individuals and families across the continuum — in pediatrics, women’s health, and adult and geriatric health. Students are equipped to practice in a primary care/community-based setting.
Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for national board certification.
