The Valley Foundation School of Nursing at SJSU has influential faculty and staff who are experts in their fields. Our team is dedicated to learning, research, and service to produce the next genertion of nurses.

[ ] The faculty have been a constant source of strength and endless knowledge. With their support, I've navigated challenging coursework, clinicals, personal struggles, and weekend study sessions. This sense of camaraderie and understanding has not only made me a better student but also strengthened my passion for nursing."
