The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing (HBSON) is the nursing school of Hunter College, a public university that is a constituent organization of the City University of New York (CUNY). It is located on the Brookdale Campus, at East 25th Street and 1st Avenue in Kips Bay, near Bellevue Hospital. The school is the flagship nursing program for CUNY.[1]
History
The Training-School for Nurses
The nation's first nursing school based on Florence Nightingale's principles, the Training School for Nurses, opened at Bellevue in 1873. Sister Helen Bowdin of the All Saints Sisterhood in London was the first Superintendent.
This school was planned by the "Bellevue Hospital Visiting Committee" of the "New-York State Charities Aid Association," in the spring of 1872. Several months were occupied in securing the cooperation of the Medical Board of Bellevue Hospital, and of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, and in arranging preliminary details, so that the school was not opened until May 1, 1873; and on February 5, 1874, a "Training-School Society" was incorporated.[2]
There was a corps of five instructors, who give at least 24 lectures during the year, besides the instruction of the superintendent and her assistant. The school opened with a subscription fund of nearly Шаблон:USD, which was almost entirely raised within six weeks. There were six nurses at the start, who were allowed the privileges of three wards in the hospital. They were lodged in a small rented building, near the hospital grounds. During the second year, 118 women applied for admission, and 29 were accepted as "probationers". This necessitated the rental of a second lodging-house adjoining the first. In February, 1875, three male surgical and three obstetric wards were added to the service; and thereafter, the number of wards allotted to the school gradually increased.[2]
The full course embraced two years of study. During their second year, nurses were sent out to do private nursing. In 1875, 12 private cases were thus supplied. Towards the close of its fourth year, the school had grown to such an extent that more ample accommodations were required for the nurses; and one of the founders of the school presented a new dormitory to the school.[2]
The age limits were between 25 and 35 years. Applicants were received at any season. A gold badge was given with the diploma to those who satisfactorily passed examinations.[2]
Subsequent changes
In 1952, the administration of the Bellevue Schools of Nursing and the Bellevue Hospital Nursing Service was split for the first time with Associate Directors. In 1954, the school moved to the new building that is Hunter-Bellevue's current location and enrolled in the National Student Nurses' Association.
In 1967, an agreement with Hunter College was reached to transfer the Bellevue facilities to Hunter. In 1969, the final students in the diploma program were graduated.[3]
Hunter began educating nurses in 1943[4] and admitted the first enrollees in the Basic Collegiate Nursing Program leading to a Bachelor of Science (Nursing) degree in 1955 and to the graduate program leading to a Master of Science (Nursing) in 1961.
The Hunter College Department of Nursing then expanded and moved to the facilities of the Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing in 1969 as the latter program was absorbed by Hunter Department of Nursing.[4] From June 1974 until it became independent again in 2008, Hunter-Bellevue Nursing School was part of the Division of the Schools of the Health Professions of Hunter College.[5]
In September 2012, plans were announced for a new campus for HBSON at 525 East 73rd Street in Manhattan near the main Hunter campus.[6]
