While we are proud of our outstanding rankings, they are not what motivates our faculty and students. Rather, it is being at the hub of intellectual activity in nursing -- the center of innovation and discovery, where new ideas for nursing care are developed, tested, applied to patient care and then distributed throughout the world as best practices.
Known for the development of evidence-based guidelines for care that are used throughout the nursing community, College of Nursing scientists seek to improve clinical outcomes and enhance nursing practice world-wide.
As the smallest of the Big Ten colleges of nursing, we have the agility for experimentation and innovation. Far from being a disadvantage, we trade on the value of our size and selectivity for sustaining a close intellectual community of carefully chosen faculty members and students.
