Welcome to the School of Nursing


"I enjoyed my time at MUN tremendously... I can do everything that I want to do in my life as a nurse." - Debbie Forward, president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Nurses Union


"I made lifelong friends... I made friends with our faculty. Profs were really interested in helping you learn everything you needed to learn and stimulate your thinking. It was all about making us into critical thinkers. It was a really great experience." - Pegi Earle, executive director of the Association of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador

"The diversity of both the undergraduate and graduate programs prepares nurses exceptionally well for numerous roles in health care. Graduates are making major contributions to nursing practice, education, research, and leadership; as well as to health policy and health care delivery." - Anita Ludlow, Provincial Chief Nurse, Department of Health and Community Services, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
