Welcome from the Department Chair, Nursing
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,
