Why a PhD in Nursing?

There are several reasons why you should consider a PhD in Nursing:

You receive advanced preparation as a nurse researcher:

A PhD in Nursing prepares nurse scholars with advanced skills in research to meet the health needs of vulnerable and aging populations.

there is a shortage of phd prepared nurses:

The demand and career opportunities for nurses with a PhD far outweigh the current supply. PhD prepared nurses are needed to design and carry out programs of research to improve the health of the public, teach, direct research in health care settings, and function in leadership and executive roles in industry and government.

Personal Growth:

Enrolling in a doctoral program provides numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.
