Innovations: Nursing Science, Education, Practice - University of ...

The mission of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing,
as part of a major research university, is to develop,
disseminate, and utilize nursing knowledge. Education
and clinical practice are essential to the utilization of
nursing knowledge and generation of questions that
give focus and meaning to the research enterprise.
Research, education, and clinical practice at the School
of Nursing are integrated to create a unique academic
milieu in which faculty, clinicians, and students engage
in a culture of discovery.
The School’s baccalaureate, graduate, and
professional development programs derive excellence
and strength from the unusually fertile environment
for research that exists at this University. Research
guides education and shapes practice that emphasizes
identification of, response to, and leadership for the
health-care needs of a multicultural world.
