ForwardNursing Fall 2025
Whether impacting the health of rural and aging populations, continuing groundbreaking research, immersing in new programming, or excelling in their practice, Badger nurses are committed to propelling the health of their communities forward. As our students and alumni forge their paths, they transform the future of nursing each step of the way. The Fall 2025 issue of ForwardNursing highlights how Badger nurses are critical in providing health care throughout Wisconsin and beyond. Often, they are the missing piece of the puzzle in health care where underserved populations need it most.
