About The School Of Nursing
The School of Nursing was first established as a Post Basic Nursing institution in 1963 as a World Health Organisation (WHO) project at request of the Ministry of Health. It then focused on preparation of Diploma awarded Nurse Tutors for basic nursing training institutions. Further the School also focused on certificate courses in Nursing Management in July 1970 and diploma courses in Nursing Service Administration in 1971.
In 1980, the degree programme began and the designation of the Post-Basic Nursing Department changed to Department of Nursing with a wholly Ghanaian staff and placed under both the Faculties of Science and Social Studies. In July 15, 2003, the Department was upgraded into a School and made a constituent of the College of Health Sciences by the University Council. The School was departmentalised into only (5) five units:
- Mental Health Nursing
- Community Health Nursing
- Maternal and Child Health Nursing
- Adult Health Nursing
- Research, Education and Administration.
