Hear from our students!
"The MSU nursing program in Great Falls has an incredible sense of community. I made lifelong friends and mentors. Our professors are extremely supportive of all avenues of nursing, and each one of them is truly passionate about sending great nurses into the workforce. I could not have asked for a better place to pursue a nursing career, and I am proud to be a Bobcat nurse!"

A Message from the Department Head
"Welcome to the Great Falls Campus!
One of the things I love most about nursing is that there is always something new to learn, a question worth asking, or a different perspective to explore. Nursing is part science, part art, and a whole lot of curiosity, compassion, and human connection. And I think learning to become a nurse should be just as exciting as the profession itself!
Here on the Great Falls Campus, we're a team of educators who genuinely love what we do. We bring a wide variety of clinical experiences, a passion for teaching, and our own unique personalities to the classroom, simulation lab, and clinical setting. We believe in working hard, thinking critically, supporting one another, and having some fun along the way. After all, nursing is serious work, but that doesn't mean we have to take ourselves too seriously!
My hope is that every student who walks through our doors feels seen, supported, challenged, and encouraged to be curious. Ask the questions, try new things, make mistakes, reflect, and keep growing. You don't have to know everything. In fact, some of the best nurses are the ones who never stop asking why.
We're not just here to help you earn a nursing degree. We're here to help you discover the kind of nurse, teammate, and human being you want to become. And hopefully, you'll have some fun, make lifelong connections, and fall in love with nursing along the way."
