A Rich History of Nursing at RushThe College's HeritageThe heritage of the College of Nursing dates back to 1885, when the College's first antecedent, the St. Luke's Hospital Training School of Nursing, opened to offer diploma education to nurses. In 1903, the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing accepted its first students. From 1956 to 1968 nurses were taught at the merged Presbyterian-St. Luke's School of Nursing. Before the establishment of the College of Nursing in 1972, more than 7,000 nurses had graduated from these schools. Today, over 6,000 baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral students have graduated from Rush College of Nursing. Photo caption: Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing students, ca. 1905. |
