A National Leader in Nursing Education
At Saint Louis University’s Trudy Busch Valentine School of Nursing, you’ll be challenged to learn more about the human body than you might have thought possible. Yet, in the end, what you'll learn about most might just be yourself.
SLU has been a national leader in nursing education since 1928. Through our innovative approach to nursing education, we dive deeper to discover the strength, spirit and compassion required to provide patients with unparalleled care.
