YSN is consistently ranked among the top nursing schools in the United States and globally, and has a number of specialties ranked in the top 10 in the US.  Whether a large hospital system or a small practice, prospective employers look for Yale graduates because they recognize the quality of a YSN education.

YSN students benefit from a state-of-the-art education, including over 8,000 square feet of newly renovated simulation space and cutting edge artificial reality technology.  Students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the rapidly evolving health sector.

Become part of a 100-year tradition of excellence directly responsible for many milestones: the first university-based model for training nurses, the first direct graduate entry nursing program (GEPN), the birthplace of the American hospice movement, the first randomized trial conducted by a nurse, the first professorship in psychiatric nursing, and more.

YSN's world-class faculty are not just great teachers; they're also clinicians who maintain active practices. By bringing a real-world approach to the classroom and lab, YSN students benefit from the most up-to-date training and clinical skills.

Many schools and programs require nursing students to find their own clinical placements, but YSN's Clinical Support Unit draws on the school's vast network of organizations to identify and secure clinical opportunities for you, ensuring an exceptional clinical experience without stress or worry.
