Welcome to the Nursing Department at the University of West Florida! The Nursing progam is a part of the School for Allied Health and Life Sciences (SAHLS). We are moving to Building 8 located on University Parkway, outside of the UWF campus entrance.
Here you will find dedicated staff and faculty that will advise and assist you every step of the way in your program - from the application process, through your theory and clinical classes and in your final preparation for the NCLEX licensure exam.
What makes our program unique? We only admit 40 students once a year. That means you will be part of a small, select group working closely with faculty that follow you through that year with dedicated personal attention. Clinical groups are team taught with access to two or three faculty members for most classes.
We are very proud to say that the UWF Nursing Program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the pass rate of our students taking the NCLEX is one of the highest in the state of Florida.
We are a department that is interested and actively involved in the community in which we work.There are many opportunities for outreach such as our faculty and student group that went to Biloxi Mississippi last summer to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The following is from a story in Imprint that was featured on our college website.
"In this special Write On, Rachel Green, a nursing student at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, FL, talks about the trip that fourteen nursing students made to help out the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Imprint is proud to feature this special column as it is important to remember that almost six months later, the victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes continue to rebuild and recover and are in need of assistance."
