Advancing the science of nursing.

Advancing the science of nursing.

To shape the profession of nursing and the health care environment by developing leaders in education, research, and practice — this is the University of Maryland School of Nursing's mission.

In the pursuit of excellence and collaboration, the School of nursing engages faculty, staff, and students in addressing local, national, and global health priorities. Together, they create a vibrant working and learning environment where knowledge is created and shared and where a passion for discovery permeates the educational process and advances the use of evidence as the basis for practice.

The University of Maryland, Baltimore is a driving force, promoting social justice, improving health, and serving the public good of Maryland and the region. Your gift will serve as a stimulus to help:

  • Drive innovation, ingenuity, and understanding
  • Encourage people to dream, discover, and dare in the never-ending quest to advance and benefit humanity
  • Support our work in generating Big Ideas that create Big Change in pain research, addiction treatment, critical disease research and care, social entrepreneurship, and community engagement
  • Provide students and faculty with the resources to reach out into their communities and make the world a better place

Help us drive change in the future of health care and champion the profession of nursing.

"Recent government decisions are impacting the ability of prospective nursing students to access the quality education that I’m receiving at UMSON by imposing new caps on loan funding for nursing degrees. Some students are wondering if they’ll be able to finish their education, while others might not even be able to start. At the same time, there remains a shortage of nurses nationwide that is going to get much more severe without intervention. These decisions, which impact all Americans, make the contributions of donors to scholarship funds so essentially important, more so than ever, because they help mitigate and offset the impacts of these decisions and allow students to access quality education when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to." Benjamin Lodge, MSN-E student
