Changing the Field of Nursing

Our nursing students become scholars, and enhance the practice of nursing through a wide range of research efforts. Like developing new understanding of health among vulnerable populations. And addressing health equity as it relates to rural health, chronic illness, women and children’s health and health policy issues.

We educate nurses to become primary care practitioners, nursing professors, nurse leaders and nurse scientists.
