Why
I chose the Drexel DrNP? I am particularly attracted to the hybrid nature of the DrNP that combines professional practice with academic dissertation. My nursing career of over thirty years includes the past nine years practicing and teaching nursing within a different health care culture in the United Kingdom. As a Nurse Practitioner and nurse educator Drexel's DrNP will not only be my terminal Doctorate, but will increase my career options as I continue my nursing career in the USA. Drexel's commitment to global nursing awareness through exposure to international experiences within the DrNP fit within my own nursing awareness through exposure to international experiences within my own nursing practice values.
