Preparing Nurses to Make a Difference
Nursing is a rewarding and in-demand profession centered on caring for others and improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities. The Department of Nursing at UWA prepares future nurses through hands-on learning, expert instruction, clinical experiences, and service-learning opportunities that foster compassion, professionalism, and leadership. Accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and approved by the Alabama Board of Nursing, our programs provide pathways to become a registered nurse while preparing graduates to make a lasting impact through patient care and community service.
