MISSION

At the UCI Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing, we dedicate ourselves to the education of nursing professionals who will improve patient care and promote population health, locally and globally. We strive to produce leaders in research, education, and clinical practice who will champion collaborative, compassionate, and interdisciplinary evidence-based practice.

VISION

Our school’s strategic framework is based on our statement of belief. From this statement, we derived four pillars that frame ten intentions. These intentions will guide our actions as a nursing school. These intentions lead to 10 strategic priorities. When we look back over the five years, the ultimate measure of achieving these priorities will not be whether we checked boxes saying that we accomplished each priority. Rather, it will be whether we lived our intentions. The ultimate measure of achieving our strategic priorities will be whether we did what we did with humanity in mind.
