University of Cincinnati College of Nursing

Nurses are essential to the healthcare system, providing hands-on care and support for patients and their families. Their impact, however, goes far beyond that—they are leaders, innovators, educators, problem solvers, patient advocates, policy influencers and much more.

Nursing is both an art and a science, a highly specialized profession that continuously evolves blending compassionate care, evidence-based practices and clinical expertise to heal, support and empower patients.

For more than 130 years, UC College of Nursing has proudly prepared skilled and confident nurses to provide exceptional care and serve their communities as dedicated caregivers and leaders in the profession.
