Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College is a college of nursing located in St. Louis, in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The college was founded in 1902 as Jewish Hospital School of Nursing and was the first school in the nation accredited by the National League of Nursing.
Barnes Hospital School of Nursing was founded in 1955 after Washington University closed its affiliated nursing program. The school later lent its name to the University of Missouri - St. Louis becoming Barnes College of Nursing at University of Missouri - St. Louis.
In 2005, Barnes College merged with Jewish Hospital School of Nursing to become Barnes-Jewish College of Nursing and Allied Health.
