Our students hail from across the globe and every state in the U.S. to pursue a nursing education at the University of Rochester. Many students balance full-time jobs and families, while learning new ways of thinking and practicing.
Why?
Because at their core, nurses care. Every day they improve the lives of patients at the bedside, in the classroom, or in the lab. Here, you’ll learn the skills and tools to become a better clinician, leader, educator, and researcher. You will help us lead the largest and most trusted profession as a UR Nurse.
Our students get involved in organizations that serve the Rochester homeless community, provide opportunities for growth in leadership, advocacy, and diversity, and ensure access to high quality care for persons of color.
Take advantage of our network of student support services, from stress management, peer mentorship, career coaching, and one-on-one instructor support.
We center academic innovation on the appreciation that learning occurs everywhere. Our graduates are widely recognized as leaders who are well prepared to excel in a changing health care environment.
In lab, clinical, or the classroom, you’ll learn alongside health care professionals who will help you discover and pursue the endless opportunities in nursing — preparing you for success in your career and program.
Meet like-minded nurses who value equality of opportunity, diversity, inclusivity, and honest, respectful examination of ideas.
The School’s commitment to diversity spans nearly 20 years, creating a welcoming learning environment and a more culturally sensitive and attentive health care workforce.
