Every community deserves skilled, compassionate nurses - that’s exactly what we’re here to produce. UAH College of Nursing has been doing this work for more than 50 years.

The nursing program began in 1971 when the Alabama Legislature established the UAH School of Nursing. The first dean, Dr. Kathryn Crossland, was appointed in September 1971, and the first students were admitted to the professional nursing curriculum for the fall of 1972.

Before our nursing students ever walk into a hospital, they've already practiced real clinical scenarios in the Simulation and Learning Innovation Center. That's preparation future patients can feel confident in!

Nursing isn’t just a career. It’s a commitment to the people around you. At UAH College of Nursing, we prepare nurses who are ready to serve North Alabama and beyond from day one after graduation.

An important milestone to celebrate 🎉 our UAH nurses make an impact every single day!

❤️ A 100th birthday invitation like no other! 🎉

While 99-year-old Kathleen Contillo was in our Acute Surgical Care Unit recovering from pneumonia, she formed a special connection with 27-year-old Registered Nurse Ramah Mohsin.

As a former nurse herself, Kathleen felt an instant bond with Ramah. Her morning routine? Putting on her lipstick and playfully calling Ramah her "boyfriend" whenever he walked into her hospital room! 💄✨

Their connection grew so strong that Kathleen insisted Ramah be there for her milestone 100th birthday party — and he wouldn't have missed it for the world. 🥳🎂

We are so proud of the healthcare heroes like Ramah who bring exceptional care and heart to our patients every day. Happy 100th Birthday, Kathleen! 💐
