Vision
The UCLA School of Nursing will lead and transform nursing science, how nursing is taught, and practiced.
Mission
The mission of the UCLA School of Nursing is to improve the health, wellness, quality of life and nursing care of the people of California, the nation, and the world through education, research, nursing care, and community engagement.
Core Values
The fundamental principles that guide all of our education, research, and practice include:
Five pillars of excellence for the Strategic Plan include: Academic Programs; Research and Scholarship; Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI); Community Engagement, and sustainability. These pillars are interlinked with one another, and do not stand in isolation. DEI strategies support excellence across all other pillars. In keeping with the campus strategic planning efforts to insure a focus on Institutional Effectiveness, a summary of administrative strategic goals and efforts that have been underway in the SON are included in the Appendices.
The goal of each pillar includes specific recommendations for objectives along with key strategies/actions and metrics with target dates for evaluation to accomplish these objectives for the four-year time period.
Pillars + Goals
Goal: To create and sustain educational programs to prepare the next generation of nursing leaders and scholars to provide outstanding nursing care, conduct and disseminate state-of-the-art research and scholarship, and promote interprofessional healthcare delivery.
