School of Nursing

Welcome to the School of Nursing at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Since graduating our first nursing cohort in 1984, our school has continued to grow in size with over 2,100 alumni dedicating themselves to improving the health of communities across North Carolina and beyond. And while we are incredibly proud of this growth, our mission to prepare exceptional nurses for professional practice, and more recently, highly competent clinical researchers, has and always will remain the same.

We invite you to explore our site to learn more about the SON, our academic programs, our dedicated faculty, and see if a rewarding career in nursing is the right path for you. We truly hope you come soar in health with us! 

Upcoming Accreditation

The School of Nursing at University of North Carolina Wilmington will host a site visit by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) from November 14-16, 2018 as part of an accreditation review of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Masters of Science in Nursing, post-graduate FNP certificate, and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs.  

SON Newsletter

In support of the School of Nursing vision statement, we hope to recognize excellence in education, practice and research of our faculty, staff and students. One means of communicating this recognition is through a School of Nursing newsletter, which is posted to the School of Nursing website four times during the academic year. We encourage all of our readers to submit to the newsletter editor items that describe noteworthy activities and achievements for upcoming editions.
