University of Virginia Library

PURPOSE

The purpose of the School is to give further preparation to well qualified
nurses who desire to better fit themselves as supervisors, administrators
or teachers in hospital schools for undergraduate students. There is a
very urgent need for more and better-prepared women to fill the hospital
positions, not only in Virginia but over the entire country. And the demand

for nurses who have prepared themselves by special study for these
executive and teaching positions is far in excess of the supply.

In addition to affording opportunities for study and training to the individual
student, the School of Nursing Education, as part of the State
University, offers its services to nursing school authorities throughout
Virginia, with a desire to cooperate in the solution of practical problems
and in the furtherance of nursing education in the State.
