TheUCSF School of Nursing is thenursing school ofUniversity of California, San Francisco, and is located in San Francisco, California. It consistently ranks among the top nursing schools in the United States byNIH funding.[1] It is recognized as one of the premier graduate nursing schools in the United States.
Following the1906 San Francisco earthquake, more than 40,000 people were relocated to a makeshift tent city inGolden Gate Park and were treated by the faculty of the Affiliated Colleges (now calledUCSF). This brought the school, which until then was located on the western outskirts of the city, in contact with significant swathes of the population and fueled the commitment of the school towards civic responsibility and health care, increasing the momentum towards the construction of health facilities. In April 1907 one of the buildings was renovated for outpatient care with 75 beds. This created the need to train nursing students, and in 1907, the UC Training School for Nurses was established as the fourth Affiliated College of theUniversity of California Medical Department, joining the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy.[2]
