School of Nursing

Give to the School of Nursing

The philosophy and purposes of the School of Nursing are consistent with the mission of Washburn University. The School of Nursing is a major academic unit within the University and is responsible for determining its own professional curriculum and instruction. The richness of resources within the university and the community provide the opportunities for faculty and students to make significant contributions to health care delivery in a changing, multicultural society.

Professional education in nursing, which is an integral part of higher education, begins at the baccalaureate level. The purpose of professional nursing education is to provide the knowledge base and skills necessary for the student learner to become a professional practitioner of nursing. General education in the humanities and in the natural and social sciences provides a broad foundation for understanding and augmenting nursing theory and facilitates the development and integration of the nursing student as a professional person.

Donations of any size can make a difference for the School of Nursing. Even small amounts given over time can accumulate to create substantial resources for the school. You will be recognized as a member of the School of Nursing Caring Society by making an annual gift of $1,000 or more to be used for any purpose within the school.
