Faculty in The School of Nursing
Our faculty embody the vision of the Susan S. Morrison School of Nursing. They work hard to prepare highly skilled professional nurses who are culturally responsive, practice clinical excellence with ingenuity, and proactively improve whole-person healing to advance health equity and social justice.
With expertise spanning public health, acute care, population health, psychiatric and mental health, home care, hospice, pediatrics, perinatal, addiction, simulation education and more, the St. Thomas nursing faculty offer our students a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to help them find their niche in the field.
