Nursing at Duke Health
Duke University Hospital
Nursing has been an integral part of Duke's success from its earliest
beginnings. Duke University Hospital first opened its doors in 1930,
followed by the Duke School
of Nursing and School
of Medicine the following year. All were made possible by a $4
million bequest in the will of North Carolina industrialist and philanthropist
James Buchanan Duke, who had envisioned the creation of the finest
medical center between Baltimore and New Orleans.
Duke University
Health System has long since achieved and surpassed its benefactor's
dream. Today it is the largest private university health complex
in the Southeast, drawing more than 500,000 outpatient visits and
36,000 patient admissions annually. It is also one of the leading
healthcare facilities in the nation, ranked consistently among the
top five U.S. medical centers by leading national publications including
U.S. News & World Report. Its renowned centers of excellence,
in which expert teams of health care professionals have access to
the latest scientific research and most sophisticated technology
available, attract patients from all over the world.
At Duke, modern healthcare has a face. It is the compassionate
face of a nurse committed to supporting patients and their families.
The determined face of a physician dedicated to finding a more effective
cure for heart failure or cancer. And the radiant face of a patient
who has been helped by a cutting-edge therapy available only at
select institutions such as Duke.
Duke's extensive array of career incentives and educational opportunities
encourages nurses to chart individual career paths that meet their
unique needs and goals. And when it's time to rest and recharge,
Duke nurses enjoy the superb quality of life that has earned North
Carolina's Triangle region repeated recognition as one of the very
best places to live in the nation.
