Washington State University College of Nursing

About Us

At the Washington State University College of Nursing, we improve lives and advance the nursing profession.

We offer a full range of degree programs at campuses and sites statewide, and online.

The WSU College of Nursing was a pioneer in using simulation to give students hands-on nursing experience in a low-risk setting. Students also practice skills in our hospital-like labs and through a variety of clinical experiences in the community.

Our nursing research addresses some of the most important issues in health care today, such as addiction, health equity and smart health.

Washington State University acknowledges that its locations statewide are on the homelands of Native peoples, who have lived in this region from time immemorial. Currently, there are 42 tribes, 35 of which are federally recognized that share traditional homelands and waterways in what is now Washington State. Some of these are nations and confederacies that represents multiple tribes and bands. The University expresses its deepest respect for and gratitude towards these original and current caretakers of the region. As an academic community, we acknowledge our responsibility to establish and maintain relationships with these tribes and Native peoples, in support of tribal sovereignty and the inclusion of their voices in teaching, research and programming. Washington State University established the Office of Tribal Relations and Native American Programs to guide us in our relationship with tribes and service to Native American students and communities. We also pledge that these relationships will consist of mutual trust, respect, and reciprocity.
