Class Photos from Brokaw and Illinois Wesleyan

In 1902, the Brokaw School of Nursing was founded at what is now the BroMenn Regional Medical Center. Between 1902 and 1961, 580 nurses graduated from Brokaw. Illinois Wesleyan offered nursing study in conjunction with the Brokaw School of Nursing beginning in 1923, many of the diploma school graduates completed three years of "technical" education at the Brokaw School of Nursing and two years at Illinois Wesleyan. These graduates received a B.S. degree from Illinois Wesleyan.

In 1958, Illinois Wesleyan devised a plan to start the IWU School of Nursing. Their doors officially opened in 1959, which was the first year of the four-year program leading to the bachelor of science in nursing degree. In 2003, the School of Nursing expanded its offerings and was renamed the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Pictured above are the various nursing classes that have graduated from the Brokaw and IWU School of Nursing since 1923.
