College of Nursing

Who We Are

Being a nursing student is about more than just taking the classes, passing the exams, and getting across that stage at graduation. It's about learning how to solve complex challenges, how to interact with real patients, and how to apply what you've learned in the classroom to real-world situations. It's about learning how to become a great nurse, nurse educator, or nurse administrator. And when students leave UW-Eau Claire, they will be ready to take on any situation because of the great experiences they have gained through clinicals, lab simulations, and cultural immersion experiences.

What We're Fundraising For

The College of Nursing needs your help to prepare students to be at the forefront of their field and continue to provide these experiences for future nurses. The College of Nursing and Health Sciences supports students’ experiences in and out of the classroom through the simulation lab, research, clinicals, and practica. Our 800+ undergraduate and graduate students are engaged in collaborative learning in and out of the classroom, conduct research with faculty, and get hands-on experience through clinicals and practica.

Your Impact

By making a gift today, you're empowering future nurses with hands-on clinical experiences that make all the difference! Thanks to generous supporters like you, our nursing students are stepping into their careers ready to take on anything. Your support is helping shape the compassionate and skilled healthcare heroes of tomorrow—thank you!
