Yale School of Nursing

Yale School of Nursing (YSN) was established in 1923 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, U.S. and has become a leading school of nursing in the United States. It has a reputation for excellence in teaching, research and clinical practice. It is ranked in the top ten graduate schools of nursing in the United States by U.S. News and World Report and among nursing institutions that have received support from the National Institutes of Health.

The school offers degrees in Nursing, including a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree with nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, and nurse midwifery specialties and a Doctor of Nursing Science (DNSc) degree. The Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing (GEPN) program is intended for students with a bachelor's degree but no background in nursing. YSN also has an MSN/DNSc option, and pre-and post-doctoral training programs. In 2006, YSN also began preparing students in nursing management and policy.
