BASIC NURSING CURRICULUM
The basic nursing curriculum is offered in the Training School for Nurses in the School of Medicine on the Indianapolis .campus.
History and General Statement. The Indiana University Training School for Nurses, a part of the School of Medicine at Indianapolis, was established in June, 1914. Today the enrollment is approximately 310, which includes students from eleven affiliating schools who come to the School to supplement their clinical nursing instruction and ex- perience.
'rhe Hobert W. Long Hospital was the only building on the campus when the school was founded. The James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children was built in 1924 and the William H. Coleman Hospital for Wc;men in 1927. There have been two additions to the Riley Hospital, the Kiwanis Unit in 1929 and the Hydrotherapy Pool in 1935. The
Rotary Convalescent Home was opened in 1931.
Ball Residence, constructed in 1928, and the Ball Residence Annex, built in 1945. provide living quarters for students and graduate nurses;
kitchenettes, laundries, gymnasium, library, classrooms, laboratories, and office space are included in these units. T>vo stucco cottages provide room accommodations for students, who come from eleven affiliating schools.
The curriculum, which covers three years, is divided as follows:
An introductory period, of two terms of twelve weeks each, includes both theoretical work and practical application. This period em•.bles the stu- dent to become familiar with the campus, nursing studies, and nursing activities, and to make an intelligent decision in regard to continuing in nursing. Upon the successful completion of the introductory period, the student receives the cap of the School. Then follow two and one-half
NURSING EDUCATION 9
years divided into a Freshman term of twelve weeks, a Junior year of twelve months, and a Senior year of twelve months.
Accreditation. The School is accredited by the Indiana State Board .of Exa;mination and Registration of Nurses and by the National League of Nursing Education.
Objectives. It is the purpose of the School to select and admit out- standing young women who have an interest in and an aptitude for the profession of nursing. Instruction, experience, and guidance are designed to provid.~ the student with a sound background in the fundamentals of health education and care of the sick. Emphasis is placed on the impor- tance of each nurses's professional, spiritual, and moral development, so that she may make her maximum contribution to the community.
The School retains those students who exhibit satisfactory profes- sional qualities from the standpoint of scholarship, efficiency, health, conduct, and persllnality.
Counseling. The Director of Counseling and Student Affairs is in charge of the counseling program. Students are also assigned to faculty advisers for individual counselir.g and guidance.
Loan Fund. Students may apply for a loan from the Nightingale Loan Fund after they have completed the six-month introductory period.
This fund was established and is maintained by the Indiana University Training Scho0l for Nurses Alumnae Association. Application for the 1oan is made to the Director of the School.
Health Service. Students upon admission to the school, are given physical examinations, including chest X-ray. These examinations are repeated annually, and at such other times as may be required. Medical care is provided by staff physicians through clinic consultation and hospitalization in the infirmary. Time lost by the students for personal illness beyond ten days must be made up at the end of the three-year period.
Co-curricular Activities. Sigma Theta Tau is open to students who have completed one half of a professional program leading to a bacca- laureate or a Master's degree. They must be in the upper one third of their class group, exhibit qualities of leadership, and possess desirable pcrs\msl qualifications.

The purpose of the Student-Faculty Government is to encourage democratic relationships between students and faculty groups by meeting
and discussing problems of mutual interest and cancern.
The Inter-Varsity Christi«n Fellowship is an international organiza- t!<m for the development of Christian fellowship on University crumpuses.
It was founded in Britain in 1867; the Medical Center chapter was organized in September, 194·1.
