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 coöperate in the solution of practical problems and in the furtherance
of nursing education in the State.
