Why Study Nursing in San Antonio?
San Antonio offers the best of both worlds: places to explore during downtime and exciting career opportunities for nursing students.
The San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro area employs the third-most registered nurses in Texas as of 2023, with more than 22,000 nurses. Its growing healthcare community provides students with the chance to work alongside, learn from, and network with healthcare professionals in the city’s leading facilities.
The city is also known as “Military City USA”. It hosts one of the largest military bases in the country, Joint Base San Antonio and the Brooke Army Medical Center, the United States Army’s premier medical institution.
The city’s military population is the densest in Texas, which is why UIW is proud to be a Military City USA partner. Our accelerated BSN track provides an exceptional educational pathway to becoming a nurse for military veterans and their spouses.
