Summer 2024 Edition
The Department of Nursing is enrolling in the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Doctor of Nursing Practice program. Classes start September 2024. To learn more about this program, please visit the Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, DNP website.
The Nursing Department received NYSED approval for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program in January 2024. This submission was entirely a group effort. Dr. Valazza led the work group and Drs. Merriam, Valazza, Nosek, Lu, and Kershaw were each contributors along with Dr. Scheid from PT and Dr. Blankschaen from Philosophy, Languages, & Religious Studies who wrote the course syllabi.
The inaugural class of the Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practioner Program (AGACNP) graduated in May 2024. We celebrated them at their White Coat Ceremony on May 31st. We are incredibly proud of these students and thankful for their willingness to be pioneers of this new program.

Please see the recent °®½´ÊÓƵ Voice article that talks about the recent interprofessional simulation event .
