Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing

Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing is renowned for educating the next generation of compassionate and skilled nurses, deeply integrated into one of the nation's leading healthcare systems. Its origins trace back to 1902, established to train nurses for the nascent Beth Israel Hospital. This hospital, founded in 1890 by 40 immigrant Orthodox Jews, uniquely provided care to newly-arrived immigrants when other city hospitals would not. This foundational commitment to serving vulnerable populations instilled a deep sense of community and essential care in the school's early mission.

The school's history reflects a broader national movement, emphasizing practical, hospital-based training for nurses. This hands-on approach ensured that graduates were not just academically prepared but also highly proficient in real-world clinical settings, a hallmark that continues today. After decades of growth and expansion, Beth Israel Medical Center joined the prestigious Mount Sinai Health System in 2013.

This pivotal merger transformed the Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel into Mount Sinai's sole nursing school, solidifying its role as a cornerstone for nursing education within a vast and advanced healthcare network. For prospective students, this means unparalleled opportunities to learn and train within the Mount Sinai Health System, gaining invaluable experience and connecting with a legacy of healthcare excellence and community service. Graduates emerge ready to make an immediate impact in a dynamic and demanding field, supported by the reputation and resources of Mount Sinai.
