Rush University (College of Nursing)

The heritage of the College of Nursing dates back to 1885, when the College's first antecedent, 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 7,500 nurses had graduated from these schools. Today, over 150 baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral nursing students graduate each year. The College of Nursing received accreditation from the National League of Nursing from November 1975 through June 1999. The most recent accreditation, done by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), was in 1999. The College was accredited for ten years through 2009, the maximum granted by CCNE. Programs are offered in nursing from the baccalaureate through the doctoral levels. The first bachelor's and master's degrees were awarded in 1975; the first Doctor of Nursing Practice science degree was awarded in 1980; the first Doctor of Nursing Practice degree was awarded in 1990.
