Welcome to our website! Whether you are a prospective student, faculty colleague or friend; or already an alumnus, I appreciate your interest in our College of Nursing.
Join us and become a 'wildcat' professional nurse leader! Or connect with us to support ‘wildcat’ nursing in any capacity. We represent a growth profession in both entry-level and advanced nursing practice. Nursing is a versatile profession that allows one to have multiple varied careers over a lifetime without ever leaving nursing. Nurses practice everywhere – the opportunities are limitless!
Perhaps you are or want to be on the frontlines of patient care in hospitals and long term care facilities, in public health, school or community health centers, in military, government or flight nursing. With advanced degrees you might be or want to be a teacher of nursing in community colleges and university schools, a primary care clinician in group practices, clinics and ambulatory care facilities, a nurse executive in virtually every kind of health care-related entity or a nurse researcher in a university or a health-related corporation.
