School of Nursing
The School of Nursing is one of several baccalaureate professional health programs located at the Medical Center. At the beginning of the second year, students who have earned no less than a C grade average (2.0) and are approved by the school are certified to the School of Nursing at the Medical Center. By action of the Trustees and the administrative officers of Indiana University, the School of Nursing opened in 1914 as the Indiana University Training School for Nurses.
The theoretical courses were conducted by faculty members of the Faculty of Medicine, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Training School. The school's name was officially changed from the Nurses' Training School to the School of Nursing in 1956. The School of Nursing is a member agency of the Division of Baccalaureate and Postsecondary Programs of the National League for Nursing.
Central State Hospital has nearly 2,500 beds and is dedicated to the care of the mentally ill. In the fall and spring of the freshman year, all nursing students are invited to the School of Nursing to familiarize themselves with the facilities and to be measured for the student nurse uniform. Immediately before the first semester of the second year, all students come to the School of Nursing for additional orientation.
The School of Nursing accepts married students and allows students to marry at any time, provided they maintain the standards of the School. Written consent from the parents or guardian must be presented to the Dean of the School at the time the student indicates the intention to marry. An organization of which all students are members is the Student Faculty Government of the School of Nursing.
This organization is part of the Indiana Association of Nursing Students and the National Student Nurses' Association. Graduates of the School of Nursing may become members of the Alumni Association of Indiana University and the Nurses' Alumnae Association by paying annual dues ($6). For further information on financial assistance write to: Dean of the School of Nursing, 1232 West Michigan Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46207.
Students withdraw from the exam at the end of the semester in which their cumulative average is C (2.0) in the courses that make up the nursing major. These distinctions are usually awarded to the top ten percent of the graduating class.
