HAMPTON UNIVERSITYSchool of NursingThe School of Nursing is an integral unit of Hampton University and shares its goals and idealsof excellence in the teaching-living-learning process. Nursing education at Hampton Universitybegan with the Hampton Training School for Nurses in 1891. At the turn of the century,Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and Dixie Hospital (now Sentara CarePlex)partnered to offer premier nursing education and health care for Peninsula residents. Since1944, the nursing faculty at Hampton University has provided high-quality professional nursingeducation at the bachelor of science degree level. This undergraduate program has thedistinction of being the oldest baccalaureate nursing program in the Commonwealth. In 1976,Hampton University instituted a master of science degree program in nursing, making Hamptonthe first historically black college and university (HBCU) to offer a master's degree in nursing.In 1999, the School of Nursing achieved another distinction when Hampton Universityinstituted a PhD nursing program, the first at a HBCU. The School of Nursing operates amobile unit as a Nursing Center to serve as a practice arena. The Center for Minority FamilyHealth serves as the research arm of the School of Nursing. The School of Nursing is approvedby the Virginia Board of Nursing and is fully accredited by the National League for NursingAccrediting Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.Class of 2011NURSING PINThe School of Nursing’s pin is a representation of the middle ofthe Hampton University seal. The official seal was accepted in1875 and only the name has changed as Hampton has evolvedfrom the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute toHampton Institute to Hampton University.The symbols on the seal and the pin are a plow and sheaths ofgrain; books of knowledge surmounted by a globe of the world;a bible stand; and, an old-fashioned printing press. The sunriseover Hampton Creek symbolizes the rise of educationalopportunities, and the boat on the water symbolizes theprincipal medium of transportation to Hampton during its earlyhistory.Each new graduate is eligible to receive theHampton University School of Nursing pin,which symbolizes the transition from student to nurse.10
