Mission and Values in Nursing
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to educate compassionate leaders who transform healthcare through excellence in practice, scholarship, and service. We cultivate lifelong learners in nursing and paramedicine dedicated to a healthier world that is grounded in Jesuit values and a commitment to social justice.
Our vision is a future where compassionate care, innovative education, and scholarly excellence converge to transform healthcare locally and globally. We strive to empower visionary leaders who advance healthcare practice, improve health outcomes, promote health equity and cultivate belonging for all.
Our Values
The Creighton University College of Nursing personifies the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). We are committed to:
- Finding God in All Things: Through events like the Call to Nursing and the Blessing of the Hands, nursing students are invited to see God’s beauty in every patient they encounter
- Women and Men for and with Others: Our nursing students serve the local and global community by volunteering in places such as the Dominican Republic or the Porto Clinic within the Heart Ministry Center in Omaha, which serves the city’s poorest citizens
- Faith that Does Justice: Through service events, our faculty, staff and students seek justice that is grounded in faith in God and the dignity of all people
- Cura Personalis: This Latin phrase, which means “care for the person,” is embodied in all that we do in nursing by providing care for the mind, body and spirit

My time at CU has proven invaluable as I have begun my professional career. The faculty at Creighton helped me to become a competent, informed and compassionate professional.
