Message from the Dean

Dear Clinical Colleagues:

On behalf of the faculty and staff of our School of Nursing, I sincerely thank you for the time, energy and rich experiences you are providing our students.

We see their learning as a true partnership with you. They need a balance of foundational knowledge and real-world experiences to become the quality nursing graduates of which we can all be proud, and which the health care industry definitely needs.

We so appreciate your work.
