Graduate Nursing Academic Department
The career starting point for most nurse professionals often begins at a patients bedside. But for many, the desire to move beyond the bedside to other settings of influence such as community clinics, corporate boardrooms, research facilities and government offices requires a commitment to advanced levels of nursing education, practice and analysis.
The Graduate Nursing department at the Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences (NWCNHS) offers many advanced-level education programs designed to elevate the competencies of nursing professionals as they go on to become leaders in nursing practice and management, advocates and writers of health care policy, and valued researchers seeking to improve the health and well-being of entire populations. Our accredited programs include:
Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degrees and Post-Masters Nursing certificates
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
