Why the University of Michigan School of Nursing?

The University of Michigan School of Nursing isn’t just about one aspect of nursing; it’s about the synergy of education, research, and service. Fulfilling our tri-faceted mission, we don’t just provide the staging ground for nursing leaders in current and emerging healthcare systems, we also use research to innovate new ways of providing care and serve our communities by implementing our findings.

 

 

We know the potential impact nurses can have and so we take our responsibility of training tomorrow’s nurses seriously. Our academic programs, from undergraduate to Master’s, PhD and DNP, fuse the critical study of theory with challenging clinical practice. Supported by a state-of-the-art clinical simulation laboratory and partnerships with some of the best clinical mentor-preceptors in the country, we educate highly-skilled nurses and nurse researchers with the cadre of skills essential to providing high-quality healthcare.

 

With the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as our primary research sponsor and as a designated World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center, our commitment to advancing the practice of nursing through research is evident. At the U-M School of Nursing, both expert and novice investigators alike find the tools, resources, and environment they need to go beyond conventional wisdom, creating knowledge, advancing the field, improving the health of our communities, and inspiring continued discovery.

 

According to the U-M School of Nursing’s core values, we privilege caring for and serving others, no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they live. Relying on the considerable talent and skills housed within our school, we give to communities both locally and globally through the interchange of ideas, the sharing of resources, the teaching of skills, and the direct care of patients.
