Michigan State University College of Nursing

We're proud to share that the Granger Simulation Lab has received accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare for the first time.

Known as the gold standard in simulation education, this recognition reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, hands-on learning experiences for future nurses. Home to the largest immersive simulation room of its kind in North America, the Granger Simulation Lab provides nursing students with realistic, hands-on experiences that help prepare them for clinical practice.

Congratulations to all who contributed to this achievement. 💚

We had a beary good time at the MSU Teddy Bear Health Fair! 🧸💚

The Michigan State University College of Nursing was proud to join families from across the community for this fun and educational event focused on health and wellness.

Our team shared information about the importance of HPV prevention, while Dr. Jiying Ling’s Food, Body & Mind research team engaged children in activities exploring their fruit and vegetable consumption habits.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our tables. We loved connecting with families and helping make health education fun for children of all ages!

Wishing all of our Spartan Nurses a happy Nurses Week! 💚

Today and every day, we celebrate the incredible Spartan Nurses making a difference in hospitals, clinics, classrooms and communities everywhere.

“Spartan Nurses are focusing on the nursing impacts on social determinants of health to further advance all aspects of healthcare.”
— Patty Katje, BSN ’20

Thank you to our students, alumni and healthcare leaders for the compassion, dedication and care you bring to others every single day.

The MSU College of Nursing was honored to welcome alumna Cindy Romano, BSN ’02, as the keynote speaker for this year’s graduation and pinning ceremony.

Through her work in healthcare and dedication to the nursing profession, Cindy inspired our newest Spartan nurses as they celebrated this incredible milestone and prepared to begin the next chapter of their journeys. Thank you, Cindy, for sharing your wisdom, encouragement, and passion with the Class of 2026.
