Nursing Training Programs

A prominent nursing program with the entire resources of the University of Florida Medical system, the College of Nursing ranks among the top programs in the country. The Health Sciences programs include a Health Science Center, as well as specialty programs such as the McKnight Brain Research Institute, the Florida Genetics Institute, the Shands Cancer Center and the Florida Institute of Aging. As a result, you can get a well rounded nursing degree, as well as specialty nursing programs for advanced medicine.

The programs range from a traditional bachelor’s degree all the way to a PhD in Nursing Science, which prepares students for leadership positions in nursing, through practice, education and health advocacy. By working closely with state-based medical programs including the Veterans Affairs programs, the Shands Cancer Research program and the University Medical School, students gain a complete understanding of the various facets of nursing.

Established in 1956, the program has a long-standing history, which has helped it to grow to over 70 faculty members, across specialties in geriatrics, hospital administration and family care. With research grants from organizations such as the National Cancer Institute, Florida’s nursing program is an ideal choice for nearly all levels of study. While the cost of the program can be high for out-of-state students, studying at Florida provides an investment that can help bolster your long-run career prospects.
