Surface Forms
Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'school' (an educational institution) + 'of' (linking) + 'nursing' (the profession), so its meaning — an institution that trains nurses — is directly inferable from the parts. This is a common, cross-linguistic noun-of-noun construction and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase school of nursing combines the words school, a place to learn, and nursing, caring for sick people. So it means 'a place where people are trained to become nurses'.
