School of Nursing

                                                                      History of the School

On September 1st, 1945 St Joseph Mercy Hospital of Georgetown, Guyana was established under the Administration of the Sisters of Mercy. It was a non-profit corporation organized by the Sword of the Spirit, a society of men who were interested in Catholic Action. The Hospital was open to all persons regardless of race, color, and creed.

In August 1946, the School of Nursing was established and recognized by the Government. 

The sisters of Mercy were assisted by Dr Caesar Romiti. There were two classes of twenty students each headed by Sisters Kateri. When Sr Kateri returned to the USA at the end of the first year, she was replaced by Sr Mary Generosa Palevich who spent almost two decades in charge of the School of Nursing. Under her training, the school had many successes. The percentage of passes at the Nurses State Finals Examinations was never less than ninety percent. This trend continues today. 

The school has grown ever since its existence. Several nurses have been trained at this school. Nurse Elsie Asabere is the current director of the School.
