School of nursing
Nurses touch every part of our lives – whether in the operating room, at a bedside, in a primary care office, a school, or out in the community. As one of North Carolina’s leading educators of skilled nursing professionals, the UNCG School of Nursing plays a crucial role in meeting the state’s growing healthcare needs.
Through Light the Way, donor support helped the School of Nursing address the urgent statewide nursing shortage. This generosity expanded student access, strengthened cutting‑edge training, and provided the flexibility to meet emerging healthcare demands. Because of this investment, UNCG is better positioned than ever to light the way for tomorrow’s nursing workforce.
