Enhance the Well-Being of All

The Faculty of Nursing’s vision is to work together to enhance the well-being of all. We aim to build a nursing community that provides exceptional learning environments, recognizing individual talents and gifts while honoring the interconnectedness of nursing, health, the person, and the environment.

We are committed to improving educational and nursing practices through embedding equity, diversity, inclusivity, anti-racism, reconciliatory, and decolonization practices within our teaching, research, and administrative activities.

The Faculty of Nursing’s land acknowledgment is motivated by genuine respect and support for Indigenous peoples. Speaking and hearing words of recognition is an important step in creating collaborative, accountable, continuous, and respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples nations, and communities.

Building a New Chapter in Saskatoon

After decades at Innovation Place in Saskatoon, the University of Regina’s faculties of Social Work and Nursing are preparing for a new chapter.

The faculties’ current location has been a long-standing arrangement that allowed the University to maintain a strong presence in Saskatoon. This spring, both programs will relocate to a newly renovated, standalone building in the city’s north following the expiration of their lease and a review of the University’s space needs.
