How will the creation of The Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing impact the nursing shortage in Sacramento and throughout the state?
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s vision to partner with UC Davis to create a new school of nursing was predicated on building a larger cadre of nurse leaders in all facets of health care. The school will advance training for future nurse leaders and in so doing produce more graduates capable of training the future nurse workforce. Graduates of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing may choose career paths as nursing school faculty, clinicians, research scientists, health-system executives or health-policy leaders working to strengthen the health-care system.
