The University of San Francisco School of Nursing has established a partnership with the prestigious Bach Mai Nursing School in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Known as the Vietnam Nurse Project, the partnership has three primary goals, including promoting cultural sensitivity and awareness of the health care needs of Vietnamese patients, both in Vietnam and the Bay Area, which has a sizeable Vietnamese population. The program also aims to revise the curriculum at Bach Mai to reflect contemporary nursing care standards, particularly in the areas of maternal and neonatal health care, and provide assistance in using instructional methods that promote student engagement and interaction.

Record Year for Nursing Applications
Applications to USF's Graduate School of Nursing are up 56% this year over last year, while undergraduate admissions is showing almost a 10% increase.
Although job markets have softened this past year, the nursing shortage remains critical over the long term. Our applicant pools grow stronger each year as more and more students express an interest in the advancement of nursing education, a development which reflects the increasing complexity of the healthcare system.
Master's-prepared nurses can be key players in the shift toward evidence-based practice which is characteristic of the Magnet Journey, or preparation toward seeking Magnet status awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to hospitals that demonstrate excellence in nursing services and patient outcomes.
USF students are prepared from day one to skilled and sophisticated consumers of research, and are encouraged by our faculty to explore concrete ways to implement findings in their daily practice.

The Answer is the USF School of Nursing!
What Bay Area School has had a combined BSN and MSN NCLEX passing rate of over 90% for 7 years running?
That's right, students from USF are exceptionally well-prepared to take this challenging examination, which is a computer-adaptive examination offering students increasingly challenging and more complex questions in order to fully test not only their knowledge of nursing skills and practices, but their ability to synthesize information and apply concepts to practice in a time-sensitive environment.
