Meet Dean Roberta Waite
“I love the [nursing] career, because there’s nothing that you cannot do as a nurse,” she says.
The School of Nursing at Georgetown University builds on a 120-year tradition of excellence in nursing education at the professional, advanced practice, and doctoral levels. Our on-campus and distance-based, online nursing programs emphasize research and scholarship, are grounded in a social justice framework, and are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. Our commitment to nursing is infused with the Jesuit values of caring for the whole person — cura personalis — and serving the common good.
The School of Nursing embraces the Jesuit inspired principles shared by the entire Georgetown community, which emphasize the pursuit of knowledge with a responsibility to contribute to the common good. Our curriculum is grounded in cura personalis — the care and development of the whole person.
