The Charity School of Nursing, which has been in continuous operation since 1894, joined with Delgado Community College in 1990 to develop a new Nursing program offering an associate of science degree. The school quickly reached full capacity enrollment of 500 students. In December 1992, 118 students graduated, the first class with an Associate of Science degree in Nursing. Upholding the proud heritage of nursing education upon which this new program was modeled, the Delgado Community College Charity School of Nursing offers excellence in nursing education and a strong commitment to serve the citizens of the State of Louisiana.

In the 1997 merger of the Louisiana Technical College, New Orleans Campus, with Delgado Community College, the Practical Nursing Program moved to the Nursing Campus. The School of Nursing is located in downtown New Orleans and is part of the city’s major medical complex. The Education Building, completed in 1972, houses classrooms, an audiovisual center (including a television studio), a library, conference rooms, faculty and administrative offices, and a gymnasium. The library holdings include over 100 periodicals in addition to books and other reference materials to serve the academic needs of students. A computer lab is available to students to provide enhanced learning experiences.
