Research College of Nursing Shaping Kansas City’s next generation of nurses since 1905 with hands-on training, leadership, and compassionate care.

Research College of Nursing has its roots in the history of Research Medical Center, which began in 1886 as the German Hospital. The German Hospital Training School for Nurses was founded in June 1905 with five students enrolled in the first class and five others who later transferred from other nursing schools. Since 1906, the year of the first graduating class, over 2,200 professionals have graduated from the School of Nursing and over 3,000 have graduated from the College of Nursing. Today, over 500 nursing students are enrolled across RCoN’s Bachelor and Master’s degree programs.
