About – UCI Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing

Welcome

Our faculty, staff, students, alumni, partners, and friends are unified in our deep sense of purpose in seeking to reduce the vulnerability that is inherent in the human condition but, because of structural racism and social and environmental injustices, is worse for some.

We can be confident that through nursing leadership, advocacy, education, collaboration, innovation, and research, our school has the power and determination to amplify the impact of nursing on health – especially for those who experience inequities.
