Today, we celebrate the legacy of the United States Navy Nurse Corps and recognize the incredible nurses, educators, mentors, and leaders who continue to carry that legacy forward.
For 118 years, Navy nurses have cared for others in some of the most challenging environments imaginable, from hospital ships and combat zones to humanitarian missions around the world.
We are proud to have retired Navy Nurse Dr. Sheree Scott as part of our Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science community to offer her support and guidance to our military-connected students. Her story is a powerful reminder of the impact military nurses have not only on patient care but on the next generation of nurse leaders.
Happy 118th Birthday to the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps!

The future of nursing is happening now.
Faculty from the University of San Diego Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science connected with student nurses and new graduates at the AACN Sacramento conference, sharing what’s possible in advanced practice nursing.
From career pathways to real-world impact, the conversations centered on how nurses lead, innovate, and improve patient care.
We’re especially proud of Sheree Scott, PhD, RN, who delivered a powerful session on leadership, service, and resilience through her experience as a Navy nurse.
Always inspiring to see the next generation of nurses stepping into what’s possible.#USDNursing #ClinicalNurseSpecialist #NursingLeadership #AdvancedPracticeNursing #FutureOfNursing #NurseEducation #NursingStudents
