Message from the Director

Welcome to the School of Advanced Nursing Education (SANE). We are located within the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS) and offer a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) Nursing Programme (full-time and part time) and an Oncology programme (full-time) aimed at developing professionals in the area of Nursing. This focus is maintained through adherence to our philosophy, mission, vision, goals and objectives while complying with the broader philosophy, goals and policies of the University and the established standards of professional nursing organisations.

The School consists of a small but dedicated core of full-time lecturers. In the quest to deliver a programme of the highest quality, adjunct lecturers sourced locally and from within CARICOM are appointed as needed. The faculty has established linkages with international nursing leaders and academic institutions such as Michigan State University – College of Nursing, Mc Master University – School of Nursing and Sheffield University- School of Nursing and Midwifery. At the regional level, through its director, the School participates at the highest nursing policy-making forum, the Regional Nursing Body (RNB) which is a component of CARICOM.

Students are encouraged to be self-directed, innovative, act responsibly, function cohesively and internalise and exhibit professional attributes. Clinical strengths and other life experiences are harnessed and shared, redounding to the benefit of the entire class.

We invite you to explore our site and discover the wide range of possibilities that nursing at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine has to offer!
