We're teaching tomorrow's nurses! Our vision is to be a leader in the transformation of nursing in Alaska by being dedicated to improving local and global health outcomes.
Welcome to the UAA School of Nursing! The purpose of the School of Nursing is to promote the health and well-being of people and communities by fostering excellence and innovation in nursing education, research and healthcare. Our core values are the following:
