In 1905 the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word established the St. Joseph’s School of Nursing at St.
Joseph’s Hospital. Through the cooperative efforts of the University of St. Thomas and Sisters of Charity,
the School of Nursing moved to the campus of the University in 1972. Students continued to receive their
practical experience at St. Joseph’s Hospital. In 1974 the first University graduates of the program were
awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.
The School of Nursing program had a reputation for high quality in the Houston medical community. The
program was fully accredited by both the Board of Nurse Examiners (BNE) for the state of Texas located in
Austin and by the National League for Nursing (NLN) located in New York City.
During the 1984-85 time period, the Board of Directors conducted an extensive study and determined that
the economics of the nursing program had become prohibitive. After an eighty year history in Houston
and a fourteen-year tenure at the University of St. Thomas, the school officially closed June 30, 1986.
The files for the School of Nursing are from 1966 to 1986. They include: The School of Nursing faculty,
budgets, Board of Nurse Examiners (BNE), progress reports and miscellaneous items, annual reports,
curriculum and curriculum changes, gift transmittal forms, correspondence to/from the Dean of School of
Nursing, accredited schools, State Board Test Pool Examination, National League for Nursing Self-Evaluation
Committees and Councils, Ceremonies, Spring Awards Day, Mass, Commencement, HEW federal funding, awards
and applications for training grants, nursing alumni associations, and the Dominican college phase out.
