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.
