Institute for Quality Science Partnerships

The Ann May Center for Nursing

The Ann May Nursing Center for the Advancement of Professional Nursing Practice was established in 1997 to support the evolving needs of nurses in a rapidly changing health care environment. Taking its name from the former Ann May School of Nursing, the Center for Nursing offers resources for educational enrichment, financial support, and research initiatives. The center holds an annual poster presentation, manages a Center for Simulation, and runs a Specialty Scholar program that mentors nurses in research, evidence-based practice, and quality improvement.
