Empowering the Next Generation of Nurses
Redefining Healthcare Services
California State University San Marcos School of Nursing was founded in 2006 through a generous donation from Palomar Health. A partnership was then forged with Extended Learning to expand the School of Nursing offerings and to help meet the healthcare needs of San Diego County.
We strive to be a dynamic leader in the art and science of nursing and educate ethical and culturally sensitive nursing students to alleviate suffering and promote, preserve, and restore dignity for all patients.
