Historical Development
THE Graduate Nursing Education program at Indiana University was organized in 1932 at the request of the Indiana State Nurses Association. Dr. H. L. Smith, Dean of the School of Education, and Dr. W. W. Patty, Director of Physical Welfare Training, worked with a committee from the Association in organizing curricula in public health nursing, hospital administration and supervision, and teaching in schools of nursing. Following these conferences, courses in nursing education were made available on the Bloomington campus and at various Extension centers, under the direction of Dr. Patty.
In September, 1935, Miss Virginia .Jones was appointed as the first full-time instructor in public health nursing at the University and the first courses in the field of public health nursing were offered.
Miss Jones developed and supervised the total nursing curriculum on the campus. In September, 1937, she resigned her position to join the staff of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing and Mrs. Bessie F. Swan was appointed to take her place.
During the school year 193'7-1938 Indiana Unbersity began its affiliation with the Indianapolis Public Health Nursing Association for the purpose of offering supervised practice in public health nursing.
Arrangements were also made to offer field experience in District Health Department No. G, Indiana State Board of Health, with head- quarters in Bloomington, Indiana. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation began to cooperate with the University in 1940 in offering fellowships to students for field work experience in rural public health nursing.
These organizations have continued to offer supervised experience in these fields.
Beginning in 1938, students were offered supervised experience in school nursing at the University School, Bloomington, where the school nurse held the position of Assistant Critic Supervisor in Nurs-- ing Education. After the spring of 1942 this work was discontinued and the school nurse became a full-time member of the University
School faculty.
In 1939 the National Organization for Public Health Nursing gave full approval of the curricula in public health nursing as of- fered at Indiana University, and since that date the course has re- mained on the approved list of this organization.
As additions were made to the curriculum and the enrollment increased, part-time instructors in nursing education in the Extension Division were appointed and a co-ordinator for the field work in public health nursing was employed. In 1943 two additional staff members were employed and work in industrial nursing was added to the curriculum.
During 1943 an Advisory Committee in Nursing Education was appointed by the University and in June, 1944, a division of nursing education in the School of Education was formed, with Assistant Professor Frances Orgain, who had been on the staff since 1941, as Director.
The gradual development of the curricula and staff has been paralleled with a steady increase in the number of graduate nurses
4
admitted as applicants for the B.S. degree in Education with a majo!' in nursing education or public health nursing.
Indiana University is making every effort to cooperate with state and federal institutions in promoting standards in nursing and at the same time to prepare nur~es for essential positions that need to he filled so the people in Indiana and other states may have ade - quate health protection and nursing care in both military and civilian life.
Admission Requirements
Students who are graduates of schools other than the Indiana University Training School for Nurses must submit to the Dean of the School of Education: a transcript of high school credits on an

ment is furnished and cared for by the University, except that
