Valdosta State University College of Nursing welcomes you to our website, the gateway to professional nursing education in South Georgia. In so many ways the profession of nursing touches peoples lives and profoundly impacts the wellbeing our communities, our nation and beyond.

The faculty of the VSU College of Nursing are dedicated to improving the health care of our region through the preparation of a professional nursing workforce characterized by enthusiasm, skill, knowledge, and honor.  Through the establishment of a teaching/learning environment based in empathy, aesthetics, science and technology, faculty and staff work to sustain a culture of caring, competency and creativity. Our graduates assume leadership in nursing and health care from clinical decision making at the patient’s bedside, to the corporate board rooms of major health care organizations.  Our students have the opportunity to explore careers in a wide variety of acute care and community settings, working with role models from all specialties within nursing.

This website is created to assist you in understanding the College of Nursing, in negotiating our procedures for applications and articulation in our educational programs, and in making good decisions about your professional and academic career.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or needs.  Nursing is a great future just waiting for you to join!
