Research

Our faculty’s passion for nursing isn’t limited to the classroom. They’re actively involved in research that furthers their field and serves their communities.

Our recent research has focused on areas like early pregnancy recognition, lay community health worker programs, and support groups for women experiencing depression. Students can join our faculty in their research by applying to be research assistants and gaining practical experience that will serve them well in graduate school or a nursing career. 

Currently active faculty research projects are listed below. For student research updates and opportunities, see the student research page.
