Description: The purpose of this study was to pull together from numerous sources a coherent history of one school of nursing that existed during the years when nursing leadership was working toward improving the education of nurses.

This school was strongly influenced by the leadership of the National League for Nursing Education (NLNE), the Colorado Board of Nursing and the director of the school. All of these influenced the development of this school which resulted from the amalgation of three schools in Colorado that were failing.

Resource materials came primarily from the Archives of the Sisters of Charity, Mt. St. Joseph, Ohio, the Colorado Board of Nursing, Denver and the Penrose Hospital, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In its short history the school was approved by the Colorado Board of Nursing, became one of the first schools accredited by the NLNE and after less than 10 years from accreditation merged with Loretto Heights College to become a B.S.N. Program. It is felt that educated leadership made the difference.
