Providing Comprehensive Support

The Office of Nursing Research (ONR) provides comprehensive support for faculty in building their programs of research and scholarship. The aims of ONR are to:

  • Promote a collegial environment that nurtures research and scholarship
  • Support expansion of our extramurally funded research portfolio by providing the critical infrastructure to meet our goal
  • Support excellence in scholarly productivity

The UofL SON’s BSN to PhD program prepared me for a role as a nurse scientist through the pursuit of scholarly inquiry, engagement with critical thinking, and constant curiosity that kept me engaged throughout the program. I am now able to continue studying moral distress in a career I love and without UofL SON’s BSN to PhD program and awesome faculty this would not have been possible.
