College of Nursing

Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the Washington State University College of Nursing.

  Despite challenging economic times, our
  faculty team at the College of Nursing is 
  conducting groundbreaking research and being
  awarded for their advancements. Dr. Janet Purath
  was recently awarded a Hartford Fellowship to
  continue her leadership and development of
  geriatric nursing while Dr. Ginny Guido recently
  published two celebrated books to continue the advancement of nursing education. These are just two of the many examples of how our faculty continuously raises the bar in nursing education and research.

Our faculty and instructors are simultaneously producing well prepared and critically thinking nurses to fill the growing shortfall for nurses on a state and national level. We accepted our third cohort of exceptional PhD students this summer, allowing us to assist in molding the educators and leaders of tomorrow’s nursing and healthcare fields.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our site and encourage you to browse through our many educational opportunities.  Through hard work, dedication and generous support we are able to lead the state in nursing education. Please contact us with any specific questions or interests in our programs.

Sincerely,

Patricia Butterfield
Professor and Dean
