JOHNS HOPKINS
SCHOOL OF NURSING HISTORY
The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the nursing training program both opened in 1889.
In the ensuing decades, founders M. Adelaide Nutting, Isabel Hampton Robb, and
Lavinia Dock established what would become the national model for nursing education.
After turning out generations of exceptional nurses, in 1983 the School of Nursing was established
as the eighth division of the Johns Hopkins University. In 1998, the school moved to a new state-of-the-art
education and research building on the East Baltimore campus, the Anne M. Pinkard Building. In 2021, the
school completed a 5-story, 41,000 square feet expansion that provided a flexible space for learning,
research, and innovation.
Today, the School of Nursing continues to redefine nursing education through
a unique combination of academic rigor, extraordinary nursing scholarship,
and unparalleled opportunities for nursing graduates.
