The School of Nursing, established in 1910 and offering a three-year diploma, held its first formal graduation in 1915. The program was absorbed by Hillsborough Community College in 1972, however, the archives were donated to USF and the College of Nursing became the "home base" for Alumni. The hospital, which moved to Davis Islands in 1927, became known as Tampa Municipal Hospital (shown in photo) and, in 1956, as Tampa General Hospital.</p><p> </p> 1969 College Accredited by Florida Board of Nursing
