College of Nursing Research
Improving Care Through Research
At Creighton University’s College of Nursing, we’re moving big ideas forward. As part of our Jesuit, Catholic mission, we teach students to strive for magis, or “more,” and nursing and paramedicine research is essential to providing that “more” in healthcare. It’s how we find better treatment options, discover new approaches to care and champion safety. Our faculty are contributing to innovations in healthcare practice and advancing teaching techniques, while also being engaged in discovery and receiving support at the institutional level.
Center for Faculty, Innovation, Research and Education (FIRE)
FIRE is at the heart of the College of Nursing’s culture of scholarship. The donor-funded center was established to elevate research within the college and help pay for research time and secure seed funding. In addition to supporting innovative research, the center promotes scholarly lectures and addresses critical healthcare issues.
FIRE echoes the charge of Jesuit founder St. Ignatius of Loyola to “set the world on fire” and spark change—enabling faculty to devote time to solely focus on research and mentor students in scholarship.
