Thank you for visiting the new Rutgers College of Nursing web page. This is a great time for the nursing profession and a great time for Rutgers' College of Nursing. An unprecedented demand for nurses is developing as the expanding contributions and value of nursing services are realized in an increasing number of settings. The challenges in health care continue to grow and the need for leaders in the profession is greater than ever.
Effective leaders bring coherence to incoherent times.
As we at Rutgers College of Nursing build on the achievements and traditions of former deans, faculty and students, we are reaching new levels of excellence in our integrated missions of research, education, and service. We have an exceptional group of nurse scientists who are experienced and enthusiastic researchers. Increasing levels of grant submissions, private and public funding and refereed publications provide evidence of a high level of faculty scholarship, often with student involvement. Rutgers College of Nursing faculty members are breaking new ground in the development of innovative curriculums and teaching methods, including web-based courses, thus ensuring graduates who are prepared to practice in a rapidly changing health care environment and motivated to pursue advanced degrees. Our three nurse-managed centers in Elizabeth Port and Newark are often the only source of primary health care for disadvantaged populations, as well as being excellent education, practice, and research sites for our students and faculty.
