Simmons College has been committed to the education of nurses since 1902. In 1915, a Department of Public Health Nursing was established and served as the forerunner for the School of Nursing, which began at Simmons College in 1934. Reorganization of the College in 1965 led to the development of the Department of Nursing. The mission of the Nursing Program is to educate students for professional nursing practice.

The Simmons College undergraduate Nursing Program is dedicated to preparing graduates to meet the diverse health needs of clients in a variety of settings, as well as to coordinate health services, deliver humanistic nursing care, and engage in health assessment and health maintenance.
