The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing celebrates a diverse body of faculty experts and leaders in nursing education, research, and practice. Our faculty of clinicians, researchers, and nurse leaders work to advance nursing science; research-based, evidence-based, and competency-based practice; the understanding of diverse groups; and the provision of quality health care that meets the needs of our diverse communities.

In addition to the full time faculty listed below, the HBSON employs approximately 100 adjunct faculty in its undergraduate and graduate programs each academic year. Adjunct faculty members primarily teach and supervise students in the clinical areas.
