University of Minnesota School of Nursing

The University of Minnesota School of Nursing is the nursing school of the University of Minnesota that was founded in 1909. It is the nation’s first and oldest continuously operated university-based school of nursing.^[2] It has historically been an innovator in nursing, it was the first university to create a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and it graduated the first bachelor's degree nurses in 1909.^[3][4][5] It is ranked amongst the nation's top nursing schools, it has a research budget of $6 million each year, and produces more than half of the faculty in Minnesota’s public and private nursing schools and advanced practice nurses.^[6] College courses and continuing education are offered at the University of Minnesota East Bank in Minneapolis and at the University of Minnesota, Rochester campus in Rochester, Minnesota.

It is notable as first school of nursing in the nation to offer Doctor of Nursing Practice programs in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Nursing Informatics and Health Innovation and Leadership as well as the first to create a midwifery program to be fully accredited within a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.^[7] It offers the Bachelor of Nursing, entry-Master of Nursing, Doctorate of Nursing Practice, Philosophy Doctorate in Nursing as well as certificates and continuing education.

Organization

The School is organized into Cooperative Units instead of traditional departments. These are:

Building and facilities

In 2013 the University of Minnesota built the Bentson Center, a 11,000 square foot renovated space that includes multiple care simulation labs, a large study space, and work stations. The center was named to honor the Bentson Foundation who, along with HealthPartners, donated a majority of the funds to build the facility.^[11]
