At UC College of Nursing, we know nurses do more than care for patients — they lead teams, advance research, shape policies and drive innovation in healthcare.
For more than 130 years, we have shaped nurses who blend compassion, critical thinking, evidence-based practice and clinical expertise to master both the art and science of care.
Whether you are just beginning your nursing journey or advancing your career, your path to purpose starts here.
