Louise Herrington School of Nursing

For Dean Tanya Sudia, she cannot remember an “aha” moment when she decided to become a nurse. Instead, she said, nursing has always felt like a calling — one rooted in serving others.

Now, as the new dean of Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing, Sudia hopes to instill that same sense of calling in the next generation of nurses.

Infusing a strong collaboration between The Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing and Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, the LHSON lab and simulation education moved to a new location at 1208 Hall in Dallas, just a few blocks from its former address. The building is over 56,000 square feet which is twice the size of the LHSON’s simulation building at 3700 Worth Street. 

The Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing is excited applications open today at https://www.nursingcas.org for the 19th year of FastBacc®, a 12-month accelerated track for a post-baccalaureate Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. Established in 2009, FastBacc celebrates 855 total graduates to date with a robust cohort expected this fall.

In the spirit of commemorating the success of our 2026 graduates, Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing hosted its summer Pinning and Recognition Ceremony on August 14, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. at Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas.
