Founding dean, College of Nursing, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
Mary Hamilton, Ph.D., RN, is the founding dean for the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. A veteran in both nursing education and administration, she serves as the principal investigator for TAMU-CC's recently awarded Veteran's Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program (VBSN) grant.
Increasing demand for registered nurses, waves of Baby Boomers retiring from the profession and the specialized needs of an aging population have strained the nation's short supply of nurses.
