In 1976 the name of this School was changed from Central Maine General Hospital School of Nursing to Central Maine Medical Center School of Nursing. Inc. The Class of 1994 was the last class to wear the blue and white pinstriped student uniform. Beginning with the Class of 1995, the new student uniform is white with the School insignia on the left chest. In 1995, all of the school offices and classrooms were moved to Metcalfe Building. The philosophy of the Central Maine Medical Center School of Nursing is based on the faculty's belief that a society sustains itself, with an educated citizenry capable of influencing its destiny in a responsible manner.
Education is designed to promote individual growth, and freedom of choice.
We believe that students of a single purpose educational institution should be assured of an opportunity to expand their perspective. General education courses, taken at regionally accredited colleges and universities, provide a milieu for diversity and choice, which increases the students' opportunity for growth and self-development. Formal education provides an opportunity for individuals to develop problem-solving skills. We believe that human life is valuable, that people are important and deserve respect. People are holistic beings unique individuals, developing according to a defined pattern.
