Message from the Dean...

Welcome to the School of Nursing's redesigned website. Our new look, user-friendly navigation, and in-depth content is designed to give you a sense of what the School is all about--a unique place where people discover possibilities that forever change their lives and the world.

As I write this message, the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing stands at #4 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings, NIH research funding is at #7 in the nation, and PhD faculty productivity is ranked at #6. While we are proud to be among the best, we continue to build on our strengths.

Our connections and collaborations with the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the School of Medicine--all located here on the East Baltimore Campus--help us to maintain a vibrant and engaged academic community. And our connections and collaborations with the rest of the University and Baltimore City add to our sense of community.

This engaged community is both local and global, and continues to gain momentum. Locally, our students and faculty are active in community-based participatory research and volunteer more than 12,000 hours annually in 40 different programs. Internationally, we have formal collaborations with 12 nursing institutions in 10 different countries.

Like the field of nursing, these web pages are continually evolving. I hope you'll send us your ideas and comments about how to make this website a more useful tool for communicating and sharing knowledge. You can do so by either contacting us or responding to our feedback survey.
