Why Study Nursing in San Antonio
San Antonio has 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 2022, with more than 20,000 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.
Because the city serves such a huge military population — the densest in Texas — UIW is proud to be a Military City USA partner, providing exceptional educational pathways for military veterans and their spouses, like our Accelerated BSN track.
You will also find that San Antonio is a great place to live, study and — perhaps most importantly — eat. It is one of the two U.S. cities designated as a UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Creative City of Gastronomy, offering a variety of options from Tex-Mex to German and Spanish-influenced cuisine.
