St. Joseph’s College of Nursing is run by the Sisters of the Society Jesus Mary Joseph, a registered Society, under the Charitable Societies Registration Act. The Society was founded in the year 1822 in Holland by Rev. Fr. Mathias Wolf and established in India in the year 1904. As we flip back our history book, way back in 1911; St. Joseph’s Hospital, Nellore was founded. Moved by deep concern and love for the poor, sick and suffering, Sr. Louise van de a Dutch sister by birth became the pioneer of this institution. She devoted all her time, energy and Talent to attend to the needs of the people of Nellore. From a humble beginning of 2 bedded maternity center, the institution has grown into a large mansion of 200 bed hospital, with different specialties. The girls of this locality, who were economically backward, found very difficult to earn their livelihood and less opportunities for higher education. So to help these girls, in the year 1932 our sisters opened ANM Training Programme with the Medium of instruction Telugu. This programme is going as very well, and most of them are employed in various hospitals both in Government, as well as in Private institutions with very good salaries.
