Whether you are just beginning your nursing education or a working nurse seeking to expand your career options, the School of Nursing offers a wide-range of high-quality and accessible programs to meet your needs. As a Loyola Nursing graduate, you will be equipped with the competencies, knowledge, and ethical foundation to deliver top-notch care for patients and shape the future of health care.

On each of Loyola Nursing's three campuses, faculty engage in research focused on improving health care and health outcomes. Many are certified in their areas of clinical expertise and serve in leadership positions for regional and national nursing organizations.

At Loyola, we are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment that challenges students with robust curriculum and experiences. Within our close-knit community, we embrace cura personalis, or care for the whole person, by considering each person's individual needs and respecting their uniqueness. Our holistic approach to nursing education sets our graduates apart and provides them with a competitive edge in the marketplace.
