The University of Central Florida College of Nursing is an academic college of the University of Central Florida located in Orlando, Florida, USA. The dean of the college is Jean D’Meza Leuner, Ph.D.
On July 1, 2007, the School of Nursing became the university’s 12th college. Originally a School of Nursing as part of the College of Health and Public Affairs since 1978, it was changed to college status to recognize its growth and stature. The college will continue to operate out of the College of Health and Public Affairs building on the main campus until it raises enough money to construct a new building on the UCF Health Sciences Campus at Lake Nona. A new building for the College of Nursing is not planned for the Health Sciences Campus until 2011. The college's eventual move to the Health Sciences Campus at Lake Nona will enable the college to work more closely with the College of Medicine.

“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“Cold an old predicament of the breath:
Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”

in celebration of the woman I am
and of the soul of the woman I am

“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”

“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“If America does not wish to end her days in the same nursing home as Britannia she had best end this geo-babble about new world orders. Our war, the Cold War, is over. It is time for America to come home.”
—Patrick Buchanan (b. 1938)
