Overview
Founded in 1903 as one of the oldest nursing programs in the United States, Georgetown's nursing education has evolved from a hospital-based training program into a nationally recognized School of Nursing (formerly School of Nursing and Health Studies) within Georgetown University. It is renowned for its rigorous BSN, graduate, and doctoral programs, strong NCLEX pass rates, and emphasis on preparing nurse leaders, educators, and advanced practice clinicians. The school draws on Georgetown's Jesuit tradition, integrating ethics, social justice, and cura personalis into clinical and academic training.
