The University of Washington Bothell Nursing Program provides access to exemplary RN to BSN completion and Master of Nursing education in the North Puget Sound Region. A program that is student-centered is paramount to our success.
Fundamental to our vision of nursing is an understanding of community at local, national, and international levels. Community partnerships help us prepare our students for leadership roles in practice, education, research, and policy. By building and maintaining an inclusive learning environment we reflect our commitment and responsibility to our students and the communities served.
Faculty practice, scholarship, and service goals integrate the development of innovative curricula with interdisciplinary teaching and research. Promoting optimal health and achieving person and professional fulfillment as health care providers, educators, scholars, and researchers are vital to the mission of UW Bothell Nursing.
A fundamental purpose of nursing is the provision of quality health care to all segments of society. To achieve this purpose, nursing knowledge must be sufficiently broad in perspective and content to meet the requirements of diverse groups. This commitment requires that nursing science be receptive to a wide variety of ideas and viewpoints.
Of primary importance to our educational program is the composition of our student body. In clinical, research and theory building programs, the generation of knowledge and learning is based upon collegial exchanges among and between faculty and students. Such exchanges contribute to openness regarding diverse ideas, viewpoints, and belief systems, which in turn lead to increased knowledge and interest in understanding the varied perceptions of health care needs in a diverse society.
The University Of Washington School Of Nursing's admission policies are designed to attract and admit a diverse and widely representative student body. To achieve this end, candidates' qualifications will be reviewed for academic and non-academic factors that indicate their potential to be successful in our educational programs and contribute positively to the strength and diversity of the School. The School of Nursing's commitment to diversity is supported by the UW Board of Regents.
