School of Nursing
Nurses are natural problem solvers—and Penn nurses doubly so. At the bedside, in the research lab, in the boardroom, and in the halls of government, Penn nurses, nurse-scientists, and midwives disrupt structural inequities in health care and advance science. The Power of Penn Campaign has supercharged Penn Nursing’s mission to prepare dynamic nursing leaders who are change-makers, providing increased support for diverse students, and funding to implement innovative curriculum changes and cutting-edge lab enhancements. Penn Nursing is the place for students who want to be at the forefront of discovery, research, and developing answers to health care’s biggest challenges.
