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.

All of which is why a new book that was co-written and edited by Cal State San Marcos associate professor Dr. Amy Carney, “Elder Abuse: Forensic, Legal and Medical Aspects,” has the promise to become a seminal work on the subject.
Student Healthcare Project
The Student Healthcare Project offers free, community based healthcare clinics throughout San Diego County. Run by licensed medical professionals and nursing undergraduates and graduate students, we serve the working poor, underinsured and uninsured residents of our community in a respectful and compassionate manner.
