About the School of Nursing, Emekuku

Holy Rosary School of Nursing Emekuku, popularly known as the School of Nursing, Emekuku, is an arm of the Holy Rosary Hospital School established in 1932 by the early Irish Roman catholic Missionary, His Grace, Most Rev. Dr. Charles Heerey, C.S.S.P.

The then Archbishop of Onitsha founded the Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Mother of Christ, Nigeria, in 1937. Holy Rosary Hospital started as a 200-bed hospital with only a male and female ward.

The hospital was later recognized for the pre-registration of training doctors in medicine, surgery, and gynaecology in 1959.

In the mid-1970s, it got the status of a Teaching Hospital approved for Post Graduate Training of Doctors in General Medicine and Housemanship in Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Gynecology.

Today, the school is called the Imo State School of Nursing, Emekuku.

Nursing is a caring and rewarding profession which incorporates care, dynamism and optimism. At the College of Nursing Sciences Emekuku, students are trained to imbibe these qualities and more in order to serve on a global pedestal.
