Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with the latest technology and our faculty of highly qualified instructors provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical experience they need to be successful in today's complex healthcare environment. At Stony Brook, our focus is on educating inspired, caring and competent nurses who are dedicated to delivering the highest quality patient care.

All faculty members value interdisciplinary collaboration and strive to guide students toward becoming knowledgeable, compassionate, reflective professionals. Stony Brook University is committed to providing an exceptional educational experience for its nursing students. We believe that nursing education should prepare nurses to work in a wide range of settings and tackle the most pressing issues in modern health care. Our ambition is to train nurses who can think critically and creatively, who are experienced in the political and social realities of health care, and who are prepared to lead the way towards improved quality health care.
