Our faculty include skilled educators, scholars, and clinicians who remain supportive and resilient adapting their teaching practices to support student success, thus producing phenomenal outcomes for our students. These outcomes demonstrate that Â鶹ÊÓƵ Cardinal Nurses make a difference in the quality of healthcare and fully embrace our spirit of caring.

Programmatically, the Dishman School of Nursing focuses on nursing education, in partnership our communities of interest and continues over 45 years of excellence. Our pre-licensure BSN NCLEX rates historically have set examples of our high educational standards. The success of our RN to BSN and graduate programs is felt through our continued success stories from our students, alumni, and communities of interest. In our Edna Gay Horn Learning Center, we strive to engage students through simulation standards and to innovate extraordinary learning experiences to create a safe and effecting learning environment where our students think, tinker, and thrive.
