Message from the Interim Director
Welcome to the School of Nursing at UNC Charlotte!
It is my privilege to serve as Interim Director of the School of Nursing. Our mission is to prepare exceptional nursing professionals who are equipped to provide high-quality, evidence-based care, improve health outcomes, lead change, and address the evolving healthcare needs of individuals, families, and communities.
Our students are at the heart of everything we do. The School of Nursing offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral education designed to prepare nurses for practice, advanced clinical roles, leadership, education, and scholarship. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment that promotes academic excellence, professional development, and student success.
We Are Committed to Student Success
Through classroom learning, simulation, clinical experiences, research, and community engagement, our students develop the knowledge, clinical judgment, leadership skills, and confidence needed to excel in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.
We Are Committed to Excellence in Scholarship
Our faculty are nationally and internationally recognized educators, clinicians, researchers, and scholars who contribute to the advancement of nursing science and healthcare. Their scholarship addresses important issues affecting health and healthcare delivery, including health equity, chronic illness, mental and behavioral health, nursing education, workforce development, emerging technologies, and improving health outcomes across diverse populations.
Students have opportunities to learn alongside faculty, participate in research and scholarly activities, and translate evidence into practice. Through these experiences, we prepare nurses who not only provide excellent care but also contribute to the development and implementation of solutions to today’s most pressing healthcare challenges.
We Are Committed to our Community
Our partnerships with healthcare systems, clinical agencies, community organizations, alumni, and other professional partners provide invaluable opportunities for our students and faculty.
