Where History Meets Excellence

Thank you for your interest in the Henrietta Szold Hadassah-Hebrew University School of Nursing. 

Who we are

Hadassah has pioneered nursing education in Israel from the organization's inception to this day.  This first school of nursing was founded in 1918, in what was then called Palestine, as part of Henrietta Szold's vision to improve the health of the diverse population. 

Today, the school offers a wide range of programs and courses, including a Bachelors in the Science of Nursing (BSN) and a Master's Degree in clinical nursing, specializing in the area of adult care.  Many of our faculty are involved in cutting edge research while maintaining individual private practices.
