Faculty

The School of Nursing offers a highly qualified faculty who are active in teaching, practice, and research. These endeavors are closely related, since professional nursing practice involves teaching health skills and using and interpreting research findings. Faculty research at the School of Nursing mirrors the emphasis in nursing practice on health promotion and self-care. Studies are focused on discovering ways to encourage individuals and families to acquire and maintain the highest possible states of health. Other studies are focused on the organizations within which care delivery occurs to identify components that have the most influence on the delivery of quality health and nursing care.

Clinical instruction at The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing meets or exceeds the Texas State Board of Nurse Examiners' standards for student-teacher ratios (12:1). Generally, only 10 students are assigned to each clinical instructor because this ratio provides an optimal level of support and supervision.

Faculty members who teach in the graduate program hold doctoral degrees in nursing and related fields; many also have advanced preparation in their clinical specialties. They represent diversified views and are highly qualified and productive scholars, both nationally and internationally. Many hold leadership positions in national nursing organizations. About one-half are also Fellows of the American Academy of Nursing.
