DNP graduate, Family Nurse Practitioner track
Family Nurse Practitioner at Atkinson Family Practice
“The one piece that I’ve felt like I was prevented from doing was that provider piece. 事情开始变得更加困难, especially when I was working with patients that I felt like I could get them to the next level, 如果我没有退缩的话. So, I needed to go beyond the boundary of a registered nurse at that point.” 阅读Jennifer的故事.

DNP graduate, Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner track
“I think coming from a Latino culture has allowed me to be sensitive when it comes to caring for patients from all backgrounds. I try my hardest to not only take care of their ‘disease’ but also to take into consideration all other aspects that might be contributing to a patient’s well being, 比如文化影响.”

“The professors at Elms are constantly doing things behind the scenes that I’m not aware of. My professors know me better than any other professors I’ve had at other schools. They meet on their own and discuss each of our projects, 我们在哪里?, where we want to be — it really makes a difference. 我觉得他们真的了解我.”

“我想以DNP的身份登上顶峰, 但更多的是, I wanted to take my 24 years of nursing experience and transition them into the role of a provider.”

DNP graduate, Health Systems Innovation and Leadership track
Director, Boston Children’s Hospital Pediatric Physicians Organization at Children’s
“My career direction over the past 20 years has been in nurse leadership. Nurse leadership in innovation was a match that I couldn’t see as I looked around to other DNP programs. Health care is recreating itself, and nurses need to be the leaders of that change.”
