"There is a misconception that people who are in a distance program are somewhat distant from their faculty and I don't think anything could be further from the truth. I feel like we get to know our students professionally certainly, but also personally."

You can select from multiple graduate specialties, including family, neonatal, or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner programs.
