Current Priorities for the School of Nursing
That's why, to shape the future we want, we need to do something now. The top-ranked University of Washington School of Nursing is prepared to address the most pressing nursing challenges affecting our communities. Our obstacle? In an era of challenging state budget cuts, we need the resources to better respond to students' needs and prepare the next generation of nurses for the complexities of practice, education and research today and tomorrow. To enable the brightest nursing students to build their careers, find and retain outstanding educators, and support world-class nurse researchers and their programs, we need your help. The beneficiaries of this vision will be our families, our friends, the community, the nation, and the world. Together, we are creating futures. The impact will be greater than perhaps any of us can imagine, profoundly touching thousands of lives.
The UW School of Nursing's reputation attracts the country's top students but competition for the finest students is fierce. Additional scholarships and fellowships will support our bright and passionate students so they don't have to work, allowing them to focus full time on gaining an education, speeding their entry into the workplace. When you invest in a student, you invest in the future. Faculty Support The School of Nursing's extraordinary faculty drive the process of teaching, discovery and research that are at the heart of an exceptional education. Strategic recruitment-and retention-of world-class faculty will allow us to grow our renowned programs and build partnerships that improve care in our community.

Program and Research Support Research leads to healthier, fuller lives. But innovative research is expensive. Being a top recipient of nursing research funds from the National Institutes of Health helps, but we have far more ideas than dollars to fund them. Philanthropic support is essential to continuing the research that has already helped so many individuals, and to tap the potential to benefit thousands more. With your continued support of the school's priorities, we can continue to honor our commitment to our students by providing an excellent educational experience, our faculty by maintaining a collegial and nurturing environment, and our community as a leader in nursing research, education and practice. We are focused on the following priorities as part of our fundamental commitment to our students' educational experience:
Your generous contributions help the UW School of Nursing provide global-health learning experiences to one-third of our undergraduate students each year in places such as Thailand, Guatemala and Costa Rica. These experiences are profound, even life-changing, for our students.
You can help make more success stories like these possible. Every contribution helps our faculty succeed in developing stronger mentorship programs for our nursing graduates and teachers. Exceptional care from a UW nursing graduate means healthier individuals, families and communities. Your gift to the Nursing Excellence Fund makes this happen.
