Penn Nursing Science

What makes a Penn nurse? A Penn nurse exercises good judgment in clinical decisions and patient and family interactions. A Penn nurse translates curiosity into academic inquiry. A Penn nurse has a strong voice in leadership and policy arenas as well as at the bedside. A Penn nurse has deep engagement in practice, research, and health around the world. A Penn nurse is like no other.

Penn Nursing offers a number of resources and experiences not found at most other schools including a state-of-the-art simulation lab with mannequins responding as patients would, one of the first PACE practices owned and operated by a School of Nursing delivering care to frail elders, classrooms with the latest hospital-based electronic medical records (EMR) technology, and clinical experiences in The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, two of the nation's best.
 
Penn Nursing's faculty include some of the top researchers in the world who collectively rank near the top of all schools of nursing receiving federal funding.
