MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Welcome to the School of Nursing at McMaster University. Here we empower our learners to innovate and lead change in an increasingly challenging health care environment where exceptional nurses can make all the difference. 

Our goal is simple – attract high quality students, provide them with the best experience possible, and offer a range of different pathways in which they can excel. 

75 Years of nursing excellence

So much has changed since Constance Brewster, the director of the nursing school at the Hamilton General Hospital talked with Charles Burke, the dean of science at McMaster University which had just moved to Hamilton from Toronto a few years before, about the need to train nurses who could take leadership roles in the medical and healthcare fields which were seeing fast, innovative developments. 

From the beginning our school has been graduating those leaders, innovators and collaborators. Our graduates are known for making an impact, embracing diversity and shaping the future of nursing  for over 75 years, encouraged by faculty and staff who are passionate about the profession and its future.
