Welcome from the Department Chair, Nursing
Welcome
to the Web site of the Department of Nursing at Georgetown University
School of Nursing & Health Studies (NHS). As part of a major
academic medical center, our department leads in innovative and evidence-based
nursing education, research, and scholarship.
Founded in 1903 as a nurse training program for the university’s
hospital, our nursing program has grown into a multi-faceted and
nationally ranked enterprise with more than 200 clinical affiliations
in the Washington metropolitan region. Currently, we house renowned
undergraduate and graduate programs.
At the undergraduate level, programs include the traditional four-year
bachelor’s program and the accelerated 16-month second degree
bachelor’s program.
At the graduate level, we offer master’s programs in Acute & Critical
Care Clinical Nurse Specialist, Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Family
Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Anesthesia, Nursing Education, and Nurse-Midwifery/Women's Health Nurse Practitioner.
In addition to our strong educational foundation, the department
is home to a substantive federal portfolio funded by organizations
including the Health Resources and Services Administration and the
National Institute of Nursing Research. Scholars engage critically
important issues such as HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, workforce
development, public health, and adolescent mental health.
Throughout all of the activities of the Department of Nursing, our
work is guided by Georgetown University’s founding Catholic,
Jesuit identity and commitment to serving the common good, as well
as our school’s mission, “to improve the health and well
being of all people.”
I invite you to peruse our Web site to learn more about us and hope
that you will visit us on campus very soon.
Sincerely,
Sharon Radzyminski, Ph.D., J.D., R.N.
Interim
Chair, Department of Nursing
