Opportunity
awaits
The opportunities at UT School of Nursing are limitless. Our nurse educators spread leading edge nursing practices and theories far beyond the boundaries of the UT Health Science Center at Houston and the Texas Medical Center. Each nurse has the opportunity to influence many other nurses – creating a ripple effect of
nurse education that generates a groundswell of patient benefit.
UT School of Nursing students, educators and researchers also have a broad canvas upon which to make their mark. Against the backdrop of the Texas Medical Center and UT Health Science Center at Houston, nurses can explore their fields and disciplines to find where they are destined or most suited to apply their skills and determination. This kind of exploration leads to discovery – and discovery leads to better patient care and cures.
When asked why students (and faculty) chose the UT School of Nursing, almost all of them replied that it was UT’s reputation for academic, clinical and didactic excellence that attracted them. Nurses who are truly called to nursing deserve to learn from the best in an environment that fosters achievement. Ranked in the top ten percent of graduate nursing schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, UT School of Nursing is highly regarded within the health care community as producing some of the best-qualified and most well-trained nurses in the world.
Each student has the opportunity to learn under the tutelage of nurse-educators and physicians affiliated
with the UT Health Science Center at Houston as well as other health care institutions. With nursing degrees from UT School of Nursing, students receive one of the finest nursing educations and experiences available in the world. Careers are shaped as graduates find and take the opportunities that fit them best.
