Welcome to the College of Nursing, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman where students are nurtured to become ethically and professionally sound practitioners who can adequately take on leadership roles in nursing services, education, community health delivery, policy making and management.
Our goal is to prepare compassionate nurses who are excellent critical thinkers, communicators and leaders and who use evidence-based practice for effectively influencing the present and shaping the future of health care delivery in Oman in line with the International Nursing Education Standards.
Our Baccalaureate Nursing Program was initially commenced in the College of Medicine and Health Sciences of University in 2002 to meet the health care demands of the Omani society. In September 2008, the College was officially recognized as the ninth College in the University.
As we are continuously challenged to deliver top-rated nursing education amidst shifting health care needs, we provide every student with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that are required for performance in our ever-changing community in particular and the global society at large. In doing this, we are cognizant of the need to be holistic and culture-sensitive in the delivery of care across life-span and across health-illness continuum.
As care-giving is the heart of nursing professionalism, all our programmes are tamed toward yielding caring practitioners. We, therefore, particularly train our students to cherish and practise nursing that goes beyond the academics – a practice that emits transpersonal caring in terms of protecting and enhancing dignity and humanity.
College of Nursing at SQU provides the unparalleled support that students need to progress both academically and socially.
