It is located on the Brookdale Campus, at East 25th Street and First Avenue in Kips Bay, near Bellevue Hospital.
Sister Helen Bowdin of the All Saints Sisterhood in London was the first Superintendent.
This school was planned by the "Bellevue Hospital Visiting Committee" of the "New-York State Charities Aid Association," in the spring of 1872.
Several months were occupied in securing the cooperation of the Medical Board of Bellevue Hospital, and of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, and in arranging preliminary details, so that the school was not opened until May 1, 1873; and on February 5, 1874, a "Training-School Society" was incorporated.
[2] There was a corps of five instructors, who give at least 24 lectures during the year, besides the instruction of the superintendent and her assistant.
In 1954, the school moved to the new building that is Hunter-Bellevue's current location and enrolled in the National Student Nurses' Association.
[10] In 2014, the passing rate for Hunter-Bellevue graduates taking the NCLEX RN was 103 of 123 or 83.7%.
