Many factors distinguish the University of Rochester School of Nursing from other educational programs, but one stands above the rest – our commitment to blending practical experience and research into every aspect of our educational programs. Students work alongside clinically active faculty members and experienced nurse researchers. And, because our school is an integral part of a major medical center, students are exposed to a diverse patient population at a variety of community and research hospitals.
Meanwhile, today’s environment for health care professionals is being reinvented at the speed of light and schools are challenged to stay ahead of the curve. We believe our programs must prepare our graduates to help shape the future of health care, not merely respond to it. We nurture independent thinking and individual initiative with an eye to equip you to become a leader in your field. We are constantly developing new programs and new ways to teach. We update our curriculum every year and also find ways to improve each course. Entrepreneurial concepts are woven into the fabric of all our academic activities.
It all adds up to a powerful, life-enriching educational experience – one where our students are prepared for a lifetime of learning and our graduates are among the most highly rated in the nation
