Nina Raoji

Nina Raoji is the Program Coordinator for the New Jersey Nursing Initiative, a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Communications Lead and Committee Member of the New Jersey Action Coalition, a program of RWJF and AARP.

Her current work at NJNI focuses on getting baccalaureate level nursing programs to incorporate concepts of population health into their curricula. They have funded 8 programs to seed this work. She has also worked on developing online Nursing Development Modules, a 22 set webinar series, for nursing faculty to enhance their skill-sets around population health and hot topics in today’s health care landscape. Currently, she is working to develop a Population Health Institute in NJ for nursing faculty. Nina works with the NJAC to match volunteer nursing to projects in their communities. The goal is to have nurses see themselves as leaders and for organizations realize the value that nurses bring to the table outside of their clinical skills. 

Nina received her master of science in nursing degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and her bachelor of science in nursing degree from Seton Hall University’s accelerated program. She also completed a bachelors degree in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She has worked as a registered nurse, an advanced practice nurse, and a clinical coordinator in settings including a pediatric intensive care unit, a pediatric emergency department, and a pediatric developmental and behavioral clinic at large university hospitals. Nina is also the author of Raising Baby: A Pocket Guide to Baby’s 1st Year that supports new parents and caregivers and has sold over 300 copies to date. She currently resides in New Jersey with her husband, three girls and puppy.
