Currently in the United States, there are more than 355,000 nurse practitioners providing care to patients and their families. The roles that nurse practitioners play along is expanding and their numbers continue to grow.

Commitment to DUSON’s stated Mission, Vision, and Values continues to drive accomplishments and a sense of community, says new Interim Dean Michael Relf.

The relationship between the Duke University School of Nursing and our nation’s armed forces can be traced back more than 80 years to just prior to the beginning of World War II. Since then, DUSON has built a deep and lasting legacy with the military that distinguishes it within the nursing profession.
