What's New at VU

The College "on the road." Many of your organizations have special days for a University or College to meet with your nurses about advancing their education; others may have a joint program for many area schools. The College of Nursing is happy to talk with your nurses and outline education options that fit best with their goals. Please let Ann Barrow McKenzie know of any of these opportunities as you plan them.

We have done information sessions--including on-site transcript reviews -- for our MSN, PhD and RN to BSN programs. Additionally, we have customized meetings with nurses to discuss a specific track such as our anesthesia program.

New Building. Walls are going up and construction continues. Watch our progress live via our webcam and see more photographs of progress here.

What's Happening with You

Tell us your news. Please remember to share your news with us, including your organization's significant events and anniversaries. The College of Nursing will acknowledge them but we need your help!  You may contact Ann Barrow McKenzie with any updates.

Featured Program

Graduate Program and BSN completion. Please continue to let your colleagues know of our October 23rd Graduate Open House featuring our BSN/MSN Gateway Program for RNs and our master's, post-master's and doctoral programs.
