Joseph and Nancy Fail School of Nursing

Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the web-site of the Joseph and Nancy Fail School of Nursing at William Carey University! Thank you for your interest in our exceptional programs for undergraduate and graduate nursing students. After visiting our site, I hope you will plan to talk with one of our nursing advisors about your future at William Carey University.

Central to our mission in the School of Nursing is the importance of relationships. We partner with healthcare agencies in the Pine Belt, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, New Orleans, and surrounding areas to assure good learning opportunities for our students and to provide exceptional nursing service to our communities. We have a growing tradition of collaboration to meet the needs for high quality nursing care.

Relationships within the William Carey University community are also very strong. Nursing faculty members take key roles in the activities of the university. Students, faculty, and administration work together to plan and navigate the future of nursing education – within the college and beyond. Moreover, the commitment of the nursing faculty to high quality, academic programs is unmatched. These nursing leaders are innovative, bright, and extremely dedicated. Most importantly, the nursing faculty love to teach, and they do it very well.

The relationship between faculty and student is paramount at the Joseph and Nancy Fail School of Nursing. The reason William Carey University is known for having outstanding nursing graduates is because we focus on this relationship. Faculty are available for students for guidance, encouragement, and often just to be present and listen. This kind of commitment is rare. Without sacrificing academic integrity, we go the extra mile to meet students and help them accomplish their educational goals. Let us know how we can help you.
