“At a time when the primary care shortage leaves dozens of openings unfilled each year, nurse practitioners step up and assume greater leadership roles in healthcare. UNH’s nursing program makes this easier by educating generations of students in the evidence-based practice and independent thinking for which UNH is recognized nationally and globally.” Christina Ferreri ’02G, President, New Hampshire Nurse Practitioner Association
