Research
Research opportunities available to School of Nursing students and faculty allow them to make inquiries and observations necessary for discoveries that advance the field of health and health education.
Research discoveries help preserve and promote the health and wellness of Nevadans and the future of nursing education, with an enhanced focus on health issues associated with an urban environment and sustainability.
The school’s research program offers exceptional opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students, and provides assistance through its Office of Research and Scholarship. Through research, our students are provided the resources needed to obtain an education in a friendly and interdisciplinary environment, which prepares them for a professional and productive life.
