The center is a state-of-the-art facility where students and staff learn how to provide safe, effective, and compassionate care before providing direct care to patients and families.
The Professional Recognition Program recognizes the accomplishments of direct care staff nurses and incentivizes nurses to stay engaged in direct patient care as they support safety, quality, and research.
The program covers UI on-campus courses, correspondence courses, special certification exams, as well as other courses taught at accredited colleges/universities. Tuition assistance can be applied toward a relevant graduate or undergraduate degree, appropriate certification, or specialized training that is relevant to the staff member's UI Health Care position, the needs of the employing department, and/or assists the Hospital in carrying out one of its service missions.
