At Rutgers School of Nursing, we prepare you to provide high-level, evidence-based nursing care across diverse settings and systems.

The DNP program helped me understand health systems even more and enhanced my knowledge to improve nursing practice and patient outcomes. The program will position me to take a leadership role in patient safety and develop ways to create a safe environment for patients.
