Programs foster the ability to contribute to nursing knowledge through systematic inquiry, knowledge development, translation, and scholarship. Programs provide practice-based learning experiences to foster the use of the best available evidence, theories, and expertise in an advanced nursing role. Programs prepare students to use advanced communication, collaboration and consultation abilities to participate and lead in diverse contexts.
