Adelaide Nursing School

The Adelaide Hospital Society has the responsibility of admitting 35 students each year to The Adelaide School of Nursing. Our philosophy of nurse education is rooted in the Adelaide tradition of health care which commenced with a small Hospital for the poor in the inner city of Dublin in 1839.

We seek student nurses who appreciate our values and who wish to foster them in their professional work as nurses throughout their careers - people who are inspired by the adventure of providing loving care for all.

History of the Adelaide School of Nursing

The Adelaide School of Nursing, founded in 1859, provided the first nursing education for lay women in Ireland and has become famous for nursing excellence. It continues to be at the forefront of nursing development in the twenty-first century.

Many famous doctors associated with the Adelaide have pioneered advances in medicine. We support the highest quality, university-based, medical education in Ireland through the Health Sciences Faculty of Trinity College, Dublin - one of the oldest medical schools in Europe, founded in 1711 - in a new University Clinical Sciences building, which the Society helped to build.
