The first nurse to graduate from the school was Henrietta Mutter (Sister Mary Katherine), in 1913. The first group of lay nurses were admitted to the school in March, 1913.

A residence for the student nurses was built in 1915 and was used until November 1955, when a new building with classrooms, offices, a library, auditorium and student residence was officially opened.

The nursing school closed in 1969 and the hospital continued to operate until September 1997. Approximately 698 nurses graduated from the school during its operation.
