Your camera came bundled with some raw conversion software. If you shoot raw (only), and run the photos through this software, it will convert the pictures to jpegs just as though you'd shot in-camera jpeg. The difference is that you will also have the raw file to play with using a more advanced raw conversion program once you've got the hang of it. I see little point in shooting raw+jpeg, it just takes up more space on the card as far as I can see.

Personally, I use Capture One for raw processing, but I know that for Nikon, NX is generally regarded as the package to use.
