The nurses of Keck Medicine of USC are the backbone of our health system. They are often the first caregiver you meet at the hospital, the first face you see when waking from a procedure, the first to respond when there is a patient in need. The compassion and caring spirit of our nurses defines the world-class Keck Medicine patient experience, and their skill, dedication, and perseverance are indispensable for healing the sick and saving lives.

We must give nurses the exceptional level of support that they need and deserve at every stage of their careers. With advanced training, new opportunities for research and leadership, and system-wide programs for professional development, we can continually advance the practice of nursing so that patients and families experience nothing short of the best in compassionate, state-of-the-art care.
