It is my pleasure to welcome you to The UWI School of Nursing, Mona. We are proud of our long history of quality nursing and midwifery education that meets national, regional, and international standards. We are also proud of the nursing leaders and partners who have supported and sustained the School of Nursing over the past 40 years so that we have been able to produce hundreds of graduates who have taken leadership positions in nursing practice, education and administration throughout the Caribbean and the world.

The School is located in the Mary J. Seivwright Building on the Mona campus. Dr. Seivwright was a dynamic leader, teacher, mentor, and was head of the Unit for many years. She was a public health nurse with a passion for nursing research and the education of nurses in the Caribbean. She offered leadership in nursing nationally, regionally and internationally. We are proud to carry on her legacy as we continue to educate nurses who will affect the health policies of today and tomorrow.

Regardless of which degree programme you want to pursue, unlimited opportunities await you in the complex, dynamic and ever-changing health care environment. Your education at The UWI School of Nursing, Mona will prepare you to think critically, make clinical judgments and decisions on the basis of evidence consistent with the best practices in nursing and health care in the 21st century. With your credentials, you will be in demand regionally and internationally but never more so than in your home country. There is not only a need for more nurses to provide direct patient care in a variety of settings; there is also a need for qualified, experienced nurses, nurse educators, nurse administrators, clinical specialists, and nurse practitioners.

I can personally tell you that the nursing school provides a nurturing environment, a quality education, and supportive alumni. Our graduates serve in various leadership nursing positions in the region, the UK, Canada, the US and other countries around the world. As Head, I pledge to preserve the long-standing, time-honored traditions and values of this school, while at the same time preparing nurses for tomorrow’s ever-changing health care needs.
