Starting with its founding more than 100 years ago, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing has been committed to improving the health of individuals, communities and populations through education, discovery and care. Today more than ever, discovery is playing a larger role in health care. New issues call for new solutions. Standard methods may call for improvement. Advances require informed implementation. Our VUSN faculty are leaders who contribute knowledge, best practices, evidence-based solutions and advanced practice models that respond to health care trends and improve care. The following pages spotlight some of the research, scholarly works and faculty impact from the previous year.
