Nursing School
The nursing education in Dalian Medical University has a long history of more than 70 years. Its predecessor was the Nursing School, an earlier normal nursing school founded by the Communist Party. It was relying on the municipal Hospital of Dalian, which was established on the basis of the Japanese “Sheng Ai Hospital” after it was taken over by Dalian City Health Bureau in 1945 for the purpose of training professional nursing talents in China. The nursing school of Dalian municipal hospital merged into the Kanto hospital and renamed Kanto nursing school in 1947. Subsequently in 1949, Kanto nursing school again merged into the newly established Dalian University and it was renamed the Kanto Hospital Affiliated Nursing School of Dalian University. With the independence of Dalian Medical College in 1950, it changed its name to Affiliated Health School of Dalian Medical College. Later in 1994, it was renamed to Affiliated Health School of Dalian Medical University after Dalian Medical College changed its name to Dalian Medical University. The University formally established the school of nursing and added a new five-year undergraduate degree in May 2001. Later in November, the university added three levels of nursing undergraduate courses, including two-year Adult Higher Diploma in Nursing (full-time), three-year junior college to bachelor courses (evening school) and five-year Adult Higher Diploma in Nursing to bachelor degree (full-time). The length of courses changed from five years to four years in 2004 in order to adapt to the development of nursing specialty. The nursing school obtained a master’s degree awarding qualification in 2006 thanks to the rapid development of the course construction. The nursing school began to recruit second batches of undergraduate students of nursing specialty in 2009. The nursing school obtained the first tier of master’s degree awarding qualification in 2011, and in the same year participated and passed the undergraduate nursing professional certification of the national Ministry of Education as well as the first batch qualification of national key clinical specialists. In September 5 2012 the nursing department combined with its Affiliated Health School and formed School of Nursing. The School was approved the authorized professional master degree in February 2014. It began to recruit master of nursing professional degree since 2015 and to train senior nursing professionals. Our School of Nursing has formed the framework of both nursing personnel training and school building of multi-levels ranging from junior college, diploma, bachelors and masters over the 70 years of development.
