Cincinnati Children's LEND Program opens doors for UC graduate nursing students
June 9, 2026
UC graduate nursing students are broadening their expertise and career opportunities through the Cincinnati Children's LEND Program.
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.
UC Nurses. We See Leaders.

UC prepared me to excel clinically and taught me the value of mentorship, education and community. Through the DEU program, studying abroad in Thailand and immersive simulation labs, I gained unique opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise.

Choosing between a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is one of the most common points of confusion for nurses looking to advance their education. Both degrees can open the door to leadership opportunities, advanced clinical roles, and higher earning potential, but they differ in length, cost, and long-term career goals.
