HAMPTON UNIVERSITY School of Nursing

The School of Nursing is an integral unit of Hampton University and shares its goals and ideals of excellence in the teaching-living-learning process. Nursing education at Hampton University began 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. Since 1944, the nursing faculty at Hampton University has provided high-quality professional nursing education at the bachelor of science degree level. This undergraduate program has the distinction of being the oldest baccalaureate nursing program in the Commonwealth. In 1976, Hampton University instituted a master of science degree program in nursing, making Hampton the 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 University instituted a PhD nursing program, the first at a HBCU. The School of Nursing operates a mobile unit as a Nursing Center to serve as a practice arena. The Center for Minority Family Health serves as the research arm of the School of Nursing. The School of Nursing is approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing (2013) and is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (2009) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (2011).

Class of 2008 NURSING PIN

The School of Nursing’s pin is a representation of the middle of the Hampton University seal. The official seal was accepted in 1875 and only the name has changed as Hampton has evolved from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute to Hampton Institute to Hampton University.

The symbols on the seal and the pin are a plow and sheaths of grain; books of knowledge surmounted by a globe of the world; a bible stand; and, an old-fashioned printing press. The sunrise over Hampton Creek symbolizes the rise of educational opportunities, and the boat on the water symbolizes the principal medium of transportation to Hampton during its early history.

Each new graduate is eligible to receive the Hampton University School of Nursing pin, which symbolizes the transition from student to nurse.
