The Cornell University School of Nursing was founded in 1877 as the New York Hospital Training School for Nurses, in New York, New York.[1] As a part of New York Hospital, the school began its connection with Cornell University when Cornell's Medical College affiliated with New York Hospital in 1927.[2] In 1932, the school moved to the joint campus on the upper east side of New York when both institutions co-located. The school became affiliated with Cornell and renamed as the Cornell School of Nursing in 1942.
The school awarded a Bachelors of Nursing degree after four-years of study.
Although officially a part of Cornell, the school remained financially independent of the University, with Cornell providing only the salary of the Dean. The rest of the funding came from state and federal sources, tuition, and the daily charges billed to patients staying in the New York Hospital. In the mid-1970's insurance companies started to refuse to reimburse nursing education expenses as a part of hospital charges and federal funding also declined. This lead to the closing of the school in 1979.[1]
