The school was founded in 1965, when the Board of Regents approved the associate degree of Nursing (ADN) program.[1] This was temporarily operated by the UNR Orvis School of Nursing, until January 1966, when control transferred to Nevada Southern University (UNLV).[1] In 1975, a "2+2" program was created to allow ADN students to earn a bachelor's degree.[1] A family nurse practitioner program was added in 1992.[1] In Fall 2004, the Department of Nursing became the UNLV School of Nursing, and a PhD program was added in 2005.[1]
