Nursing
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.

Launched in 2024 as a pilot initiative by the University of Regina’s Faculty of Nursing, the program is already making a meaningful difference.“The idea came out of a conversation between myself and our former dean,” said Selena Talbot, RN, MAEd, and program lead. “I’ve always been passionate about Indigenous student success. We wanted to create something that supports students well before they reach post-secondary.”
