Program Overview
Rutgers School of Nursing’s Dual Women’s Health/Nurse-Midwifery DNP program prepares you for full scope of practice at the highest level as a dually certified nurse-midwife (CNM) and women’s/gender-related health nurse practitioner (WHNP). As a program graduate, you will be prepared to be an independent provider of full scope health care across the lifespan including primary care; sexual, reproductive, and gynecologic health; pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period; and care for the healthy, term neonate. This program is accredited by Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education and prepares graduates for examinations by both the American Midwifery Certification Board (Certified Nurse-Midwife examination) and National Certification Corporation (Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner examination).
I chose Rutgers because it offers a dual program in both midwifery and women’s health. While it’s a tough program, it’s very easy to feel comfortable here and feel like you’re part of a family.
