School of Nursing Faculty

Saint Louis University's nursing faculty is nationally recognized for its teaching expertise, nursing leadership, scholarly research and student mentorship. Faculty members from the Trudy Busch Valentine School of Nursing have won numerous prestigious awards, honors and fellowships.

Students learn from SLU faculty who are expert teachers and clinicians who excel in their nursing specialty areas and in nursing education. For several years, a Saint Louis University faculty member has been named the top nursing educator in the region in St. Louis Magazine’s Excellence in Nursing awards.

All nursing faculty are master's-prepared; the majority are doctorally prepared.
