Nursing is a health profession rich in association with people and in the personal satisfaction that comes from serving others. It is a profession that offers a wide range of opportunities for employment in hospitals, community health services, industry, and the United States military services.

The scope of nursing includes promotion of health, prevention of disease, and provision of nursing therapy. Professional nurses function independently and in collaboration with other members of the health professions, with consumers of health care, and with organizations concerned with health.

  1. The quality and value of a University of Michigan School of Nursing education.
  2. A liberal education balancing nursing courses with humanities, social, and biological sciences.
  3. A wide variety of clinical study sites including the world-renowned University of Michigan Hospitals.
