Our intent is to improve the health and well-being of citizens in the region and around the world. The ECU College of Nursing believes: All people should be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. Caring relationships are the core of nursing practice. The profession of nursing contributes to the health and well-being of individuals, families, organizations and communities. High-quality education, which includes both face-to-face and online learning, transforms lives. Students should be prepared to actively participate in a global community. Nursing practice and education should occur in a diverse environment. Our tradition of service learning, community engagement and leadership provides a model for transforming the health of the region, nation and the world. Knowledge development and dissemination are our responsibility and commitment. The East Carolina University College of Nursing grew out of humble beginnings, opening with just five instructors, a handful of students, and one office in 1959-1960. Today the college employs well over 150 faculty and staff members, educates more than 1,300 students each year, and is located on ECU's expansive Health Sciences Campus.
