Master of Science in Nursing: Nurse Practitioner
Become the Best Nurse You Can Be
With the recent shortage of primary care providers, nurse practitioners have become the preferred health care option for many patients*. In fact, nurses are increasingly tasked with responsibilities that were the exclusive domain of medical doctors. In certain situations, the depth of your education is the deciding factor in patient outcomes — which is why knowing what to do is as important as knowing how to do it.
To complement our online Master of Science in Nursing, Norwich University offers three focused and dedicated nurse practitioner tracks to help you add expertise to your education to become the best nurse you can be. Specialize your career and enhance your practice in one of three focus areas: Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
