As a mother of six children who holds two nursing jobs, Tracey Nagle’s daily schedule is filled with enough activities for two people.
When she receives her doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree from the Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden this May, she will have done so by adhering to a strict schedule, while adapting quickly to new health regulations resulting from the pandemic and the demands for medical services.

Throughout her 25-year nursing career, Nagle has held one full-time and one part-time nursing position. When she started in the Rutgers University–Camden DNP program in 2016, she began staying up late and getting up at around 4 a.m. – hours before anyone else in her family woke up – to work on class assignments and prepare for class that evening.
