Nursing
UCSF's Department of Nursing is at the forefront of innovation in patient care, implementing the latest evidence-based nursing practices on behalf of our patients. Each of the 30,000 patients admitted to our hospitals each year — as well as the patients who make about 750,000 visits annually to our clinics — benefit from the expertise and dedication of our nurses.
Our vision is to be the best provider of nursing care, the best place to practice the art and science of caring, and the best environment for teaching and research in nursing. Please visit the Department of Nursing website to learn more about UCSF nursing, including our accomplishments in clinical quality, clinical practice, research and innovation, and professional development.
