The Quinnipiac University School of Nursing has been educating nurses for more than 50 years. Our mission is to develop exceptional, practice-ready nurses as leaders in science-based, holistic care through innovation and inclusive education. The School of Nursing’s strategic priorities are aligned with innovative programs, student success, thriving community, and sustainable resources. The School of Nursing serves approximately 1100 graduate and undergraduate students. We offer CCNE accredited programs leading to BSN, MSN, and DNP degrees that prepare graduates for successful careers in hospitals, clinics, schools, communities, and many other settings. School of Nursing graduates become leaders at each level of their careers and facilitate positive changes within healthcare. Faculty and staff work with colleagues in our Center for Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and all schools across campus to create innovative interprofessional educational experiences that prepare students for today's health care challenges. The Center is located at our North Haven, CT campus and encompasses 325,000 square feet designed for collaborative learning including 48 pro-section stations, 16 standardized patient rooms, an exceptional health sciences library, 7 high-fidelity simulation rooms including 2 ORs and a PACU, health assessment and skills labs, advanced diagnostic imaging equipment and classrooms outfitted with the latest technology. As one of 17 schools in the nation with holistically endorsed programs, we emphasize the social, emotional, spiritual, and psychological aspects of care, as well as the physical, throughout our nursing curriculum.
We are a highly collaborative and supportive community that is committed to high quality educational experience, advancing diversity in all areas. Successful candidates will share the School of Nursing values of belonging, compassion, collaboration, curiosity, and integrity. The School provides faculty members with:
- A structured orientation and mentoring
- An assigned faculty affiliate

- Opportunities to work with nationally recognized faculty and staff
- Generous support for conference attendance and professional development
- Support with grant applications for faculty research or curricular innovations
