History
Originally named the Pittsburgh Training School for Nurses, the school was founded in 1884 by three physicians from Pittsburgh Homeopathic Hospital: Dr. James H. McClelland, Dr. Lewis H. Willard and Dr. Charles F. Bingaman. They developed the idea for the school after a meeting with Florence Nightingale three years prior. The school was the first nursing school in Western Pennsylvania. In 1942 the school was renamed to Shadyside School of Nursing, four years after the hospital changed its name to Shadyside Hospital.
In December 2009, the UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing received an endowment of $900,000, the largest donation in the school's history, from 1939 alumnae Jane Pesci.
