Dear Nursing Students and Alumni:

To fulfill the requirements of the Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree I need to conduct research to complete the final phase of my dissertation. The research is on the Nurse Applicant Program at Miller College. Please take a few moments to follow the link and complete the brief survey regarding the program.

Thank you,
