Professional Development

For approximately 65 years, the ECU College of Nursing has been a leader in nursing education, practice, and research in our region and beyond. Our mission is to “serve as a national model for transforming the health of rural underserved regions through excellence and innovation in nursing education, leadership, research, scholarship, and practice. To meet our mission, we must ensure our faculty and staff have the tools necessary to do so. As such, whether it is our robust welcome and orientation program, professional development offerings, or faculty support initiatives, we are committed to investing into the professional success of those who serve our students (our most valuable stakeholders), which are our faculty and staff.
