Welcome to the UCA Department of Nursing website. The UCA nursing faculty and staff look forward to meeting you and helping you with your nursing education experience! UCA's nursing faculty members are expert educators and are actively engaged in practice and scholarship. They practice in area hospitals and clinics in various specialty areas. Their scholarship includes academically at-risk students, complementary care, attention deficit and hyperactive disorder, diabetic teaching, childhood obesity, home care, information technology, and practice simulation. UCA’s nursing faculty, staff, and I invite you to allow us to assist you in achieving your professional goals. Please take the time to review our BSN and MSN program options on the pages and links that follow. If you have any questions, please contact either Program Director (Dr. Susan Gatto, BSN Program Director, or Dr. Nelda New, MSN Program Director) or me – we would love to hear from you! Dr. Barbara G. Williams, Chairperson |
