The mission of the College of Nursing is to improve the health of Nebraska through premier nursing education programs, innovative research, the highest quality patient care, and service to underserved populations.
Our journey to excellence will accelerate. Let me be clear: We intend, in short order, to be in the very top tier of U.S. nursing schools
Great need exists for nurses at all levels — and in all care settings, including hospitals, outpatient centers, community clinics, physician offices, schools and nursing homes. The nursing deficit is also mirrored in a shortage of nursing teachers. Nursing schools everywhere seek qualified faculty.
There are approximately 100 nursing specialties — requiring different types of training and degree preparation from bachelor’s to master’s to doctoral. All options need bright, dedicated nurses. As health care rapidly changes and evolves, there is exploding demand for nurse leaders/executives who direct other nurses as well as manage programs, systems, facilities and nursing education.
