I have always appreciated how the high-quality education I received at Madison enabled me to have a successful life in the corporate world |  Nurses
- provide the human touch of health care across all settings and stages of life.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing
- is dedicated to educating tomorrow’s nurses for challenges we can’t yet imagine.

| Imagine:
A classroom with blank walls bursts into life with the sights, sounds and smells of an emergency room as ambulances arrive with the injured. In this virtual reality, student nurses practice care on state-of-the-art mannequins as they replicate life and death situations.
As health care becomes more complex
As aging Baby Boomers choose to stay in their homes
As the demand for nurses increases
As we face a critical shortage of nurses ...
... the UW-Madison School of Nursing will educate nurses to meet these needs.
Our vision is to build a new Nursing Science Center with flexible spaces that adapt to simulated learning, team teaching and emerging technologies. It will help us
- attract top students
- recruit and retain the best faculty
- educate more nurses, nurse faculty and nurse researchers.

| Imagine:
An elderly woman remains in her home that’s equipped with sensors that monitor whether she’s moving from one room to another and how often she opens the refrigerator.
The nurse on the other end of the phone asking, “How are you feeling today: I noticed that you haven’t been eating.”
As part of the state’s flagship university, the School will use new technology to help transform nursing practice in the 21st century. With your help, we can be a model for the state and the nation.
- We are educating nurses to provide care, encourage wellness and understand technology to help you achieve optimum health.
- We are developing and testing new teaching methods to improve nurses’ performance and health-care safety.
- We are improving health-care quality as faculty members develop and test new ways to empower individuals to participate in their health care, using existing and emerging technologies.
- We are providing needed nurses, nurse educators and nurse researchers for Wisconsin.
