Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing

BJC had its humble beginning in 1902, when it was founded as Jewish Hospital School of Nursing. The school grew out of the idea of having nursing education based on the idea of non discrimination. By late in the 20th century, the college had progressed enough to be accredited by National League of Nursing and to be offering expanded academic programs. It came to its present state and name through its merger with Barnes Hospital School of Nursing (founded 1955) in 2005 and by honoring Alvin Goldfarb, a philanthropist for his donations.

Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing is based in St. Louis, Missouri and was the first in the country to have received accreditation from National League of Nursing.
