UTEP School of Nursing

In September 2007, the Texas Board of Regents allocated $50million to UTEP to commence construction of the new Health Sciences Complex to house the School of Nursing and College of Health Sciences. The Regents’ recognition of our growth, along with financial backing, will greatly impact our ability to attract top-notch faculty, thus positively influencing our programs and output of exceptionally prepared nurses.

We invite you to join us as faculty, students, alumni and supporters as we move forward in achieving our vision. Our potential is great and the possibilities endless….

I would also like to invite you to visit my Nursing and Health Care Issues Blog. This blog is designed to be a form for those interested in nursing and healthcare issues. Your comments and dialogue regarding the variety of issues, challenges, opportunities, regarding nursing and healthcare are welcome.

Best Health Wishes,

Dean's Message

Welcome to The University of Texas at El Paso School of Nursing web page. We are excited to share with you the wide array of opportunities, accomplishments and activities currently underway. As a major Hispanic-serving institution located on the US/Mexico border, UTEP offers leadership in meeting the demand for Hispanic nurses. We are certainly well on our way to becoming the premier Hispanic-serving School of Nursing in the nation.

As we look to the future and the challenges ahead, we are optimistic and confident in our ability to meet the increasingly difficult task of providing educators and nurses to satisfy the demands in this health care field. We are proud of our success, but know the work has only just begun.
