Oklahoma City University

Welcome to the Kramer School of Nursing at Oklahoma City University! When Kramer’s doors opened on the OCU campus in 1981, an exceptional standard of nursing education was formed. These footprints are the foundation of our excellence today. The Kramer School of Nursing offers a wide range of innovative undergraduate and graduate programs. At Kramer, we foster a learning environment where students are challenged to think critically and holistically, encouraging them to use their passion and knowledge to advance the profession of nursing. From the undergraduate student taking pre-nursing general education courses to the doctorate student working on cutting-edge research, Kramer School of Nursing has a host of opportunities for any level of nursing. Our faculty is comprised of experienced nurses, many of whom are doctorally prepared, Certified Nurse Educators, dedicated staff, and committed community leaders who work in tandem to ensure Kramer is a learning environment that allows students to advance their careers.

Meinders Simulation Center, a state-of-the-art facility, allows students to practice with realistic patient care scenarios. The classroom environment is designed for students to think about health care in a global format, while preparing them to care for the entire mind, body, and spirit. I am proud to be a part of a team that instills the values of excellence, leadership, and compassion. Please browse our website to learn more about Kramer and the many opportunities that await you!
