The School of Nursing’s transformation over the past two decades is chronicled in the new book Igniting Transformational Change: The University of Minnesota School of Nursing Journey.

The School of Nursing unveiled its new research framework that better reflects the nursing research being conducted at the school and reflects the health needs of the community.

The University of Minnesota School of Nursing and Mayo Clinic academic-practice partnership awarded a seed grant to School of Nursing Associate Professor Kristin Sandau, PhD, RN, FAHA, FAAN, and Mayo Clinic Nurse Scientist Samantha Conley, PhD, RN, for their study Care Partners and Patients Navigating Year 1 of Dyadic Self-Management post-LVAD.

In 2009, the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System served as a pilot site for a transition to practice program for newly licensed nurses. After evaluation of the program showed effectiveness in terms of satisfaction and retention, the program was rolled out to all VA sites nationally.

The school was one of only 19 nursing schools to receive the HEED Award honoring U.S. health colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion.
