Walking the halls and grounds of Vanderbilt Hospitals and Clinics is like taking a tour through ‘history and the future’ at the same time. Contributions made by the Medical Center helped to shape education and health care as we know it today and are shaping the education and health care of the future.
Amid this rich history and forward thinking, Vanderbilt Nursing has been fortunate to have visionary nursing leaders who have led the way for nursing accountability and shared decision-making. Vanderbilt Nursing was second in the nation to have Nursing Staff Bylaws.
Founded on the premise of clinical excellence, education and innovative practice, Vanderbilt provided a place where nursing could grow and stretch. This is the place where past and current nursing leaders learned the skills that has taken Vanderbilt nursing to the forefront of nursing practice. This rich environment is where you will experience the “Magnetism of Vanderbilt Nursing”.
We invite you to experience our Magnet Journey through this History.
