The several institutions are now elements in an articulated sys- tem, parts of an integrated whole. The educational program is so organized as to distribute as widely as possible throughout the state the opportunities for general education and to center on a particular campus specialized, technical, and professional curricula closely related to one another. The institutions of the State System of Higher Eduaction are the University of Oregon at Eugene, Oregon State College at Corvallis, the Oregon College of Education at Monmouth, the Southern Oregon College of Education at Ashland, and the Eastern Oregon College of Education at La Grande. The Uni- versity of Oregon Medical School, the University of Ore- gon Dental School, and Portland State Extension Center are located in Portland. Each of the five institutions provides the general studies fundamental to a well-rounded education. At the three colleges of education general and professional studies are combined in the teacher-education curriculum; students who do not plan to become elementary-school teachers may devote their time ex- clusively to lower-division studies in the liberal arts and sci- ences or (at Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon colleges of education) to approved lower-division programs in semipro- fessional fields. . At the University and the-State College two years of unspe- cialized work in liberal arts and sciences are provided on a parallel basis in the lower division. Major curricula, b,oth lib- eral and professional, are grouped on either campus in: accord- ance with the distinctive functions of the respe<:tive institutions in the unified State System of Higher Education. An interinstitutional booklet, Your Education) which out- lines the curricula of the several institutions and contains other information, is available.

GENERAL INFORMATION General Information 11 THE Department of Nursing Education of the University of Oregon Medical. School offers (1) a basic professional curriculum designed to prepare youngwomen for service as professional nurses in the care of the sick and in the promotion of community health, and (2) programs of advanced study for graduate nurses in the fields of public health nursing, teaching and supervision, and general nursing. The Department of Nursing Education is accredited by the National Nursing Accrediting Service and the Oregon State Board of Examination and Registra- tion for Nurses, and is a member of the Department of Baccalaureate and Higher Degrees of the National League for Nursing. Philosophy. The faculty of the department believes that nursing provides an opportunity for a unique contribution to human welfare, and that it is the basic function of the department to assist in the development of professional nurses, who, through the fulfillment of their professional and personal responsibilities, will seek to improve the quality of nursing service in a changing society. The objectives of the Department of Nursing Education, in the performance of this function, are: (1) To select nursing students whose interests and aptitudes indicate poten- tialities for success in professional nursing and to foster the professional develop- ment of these students. . (2) To provide the learning situations and educational experience necessary for the development of professional nurses capable of providing health services to patients and their families in hospitals and the community. (3) To develop a consciousness, among its students, of social and professional problems and the ability to contribute toward their solution.. Within the framework of these broad objectives, specific objectives have been formulated for each program and each course. History The University of Oregon introduced professional 'courses in nursirig for the first time in the summer session of 1919. The courses were offered in Portland iIi cooperation with the Northwest Division of the American Red Cross Home Serv- ice Department, the Portland Visiting Nurse Association, the Welfare Bureau, and the Oregon Tuberculosis Association. A standard course of study in public health nursing was established in the fall of 1920 as a part of the program of the Portland division of the School of Sociol- ogy; this division was known as the Portland School of Social Work. . In 1926 the University introduced a five-year curriculum in nursing leading to a bachelor's degree. The first two years of the curriculum were offered on the Eugene campus; this preparatory training was followed by two years of work in a hospital school of nursing in Portland and a fifth year of specialized training in such nursing specialties as public health nursing, hospital administration, etc. Work in the hospital school was supplemented by professional courses in the Port- land School of Social Work. A three-year certificate program was added in 1928, for high-school graduates enrolled in accredited hospital schools of nursing in Portland. The hospital train- ing was supplemented by basic courses of collegiate grade offered through the co- operation of the Portland School of Social Work, the Portland ExteIision Center of the University, and the University of Oregon Medical School. The program 12 DEPARTMENT OF NURSING EDUCATION led to the Junior Certificate from the University. The certificate program was discontinued in 1939. When, as a part of the reorganization of the Oregon State System of Higher Education in 1932, the Portland School of Social Work was discontinued, the pro- gram in nursing was transferred to the Medical School and organized as the De- partment of Nursing Education. Two-year preparatory curricula for the basic de- gree curriculum were established both at the University at Eugene and the State College at Corvallis. Until 1936 degree students received their clinical training in Portland hospital schools approved by the department; in that year the profes- sional program was centered in the hospitals and clinics of the University of Oregon Medical School. In 1943, as war measures, a diploma curriculum to which high-school gradu- ates were admitted was established and the degree curriculum was accelerated for completion in four years, including four terms of preparatory work. In 1945 the prenursing curriculum was increased to a minimum of five terms. In 1950 admission of students to the diploma curriculum was discontinued. In 1947, with financial assistance from a $60,000 grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Department of Nursing Education established programs for graduate nurses in the fields of public health nursing, ward administration, and supervision and teaching. Campus and Buildings The campus of the University of Oregon Medical School occupies a lOB-acre tract on Marquam Hill, a mile and a half southwest of the business center of Port- land. The site is one of exceptional grandeur, overlooking the city and the Willam- ette River. Portland, a city of 373,628 population, is known for its beautiful homes, parks, and scenic boulevards, and for its equable climate. The foothills of the Cas- cade Mountains rise on the outskirts of the city. Mount Hood, one of the major peaks of the range, towers on the southeastern horizon. Medical School buildings include the Medical Science Building, the Labora- tory and Administration Building, the Doernbecher Memorial Hospital for Chil- dren, the Outpatient Clinic, the Multnomah Hospital, the University State Tu- berculosis Hospital, the Medical School Library and Auditorium, and the nurses dormitories. A new 277-bed General Hospital is under construction on the campus. Library The Library for the Department of Nursing Education is a part of the Li- brary of the University of Oregon Medical School. The Medical School Library collection includes 52,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals and a large num- ber of unbound periodicals. Approximately 1,000 current periodicals are received. Through the privileges of interlibrary loan and microfilm service, it is possible to procure, within a few days, material not in this collection. The Oregon State Board of Medical Examiners, the Portland Academy of Medicine, and the Mult- nomah County Medical Society contribute part of the annual operating cost. The following regulations govern fines and charges in connection with the use of Library facilities: (I) In general, no fines are assessed for failure to return seven-day or two-week books promptly; but a maximum fine of $1.00 a day may be imposed in special cases. at the discre- tion of the liJ;>rarian. for failure to return books urgently needed. (2) For failure to return reserve books when due. the following fines are assessed: 25 cents for the first hour; 5 cents for each additional hour or fraction thereof. The maximum fine is $5.00. GENERAL INFORMATION 13 (3) A serviee charge of 10 cents is added to all fines reported to the Business Office for collection. (4) For lost hooks, the borrower is charged the list price, plus the amount of fines incurred up to the time the book is reported missing, and plus a service charge of 50 cents. (5) When a book, which has been reported lost and has been paid for by the borrower, is returned before a replacement has been ordered, a refund equal to the list price of tbe book is made. When replacements have been purchased for lost books, refunds mayor may not be made, at the diseretion of the librarian. Student Housing Residences are provided for students enrolled in the Department of Nursing Education. A residence at 840 S. W. Gaines Road has a limited number of rooms available for students in advanced professional curricula, at the rate of $21.00 a month for a double room and $26.00 a month for a single room. Scholanhips, Loans, and Prizes The Oregon State Board of Higher Education awards, annually, a limited number of scholarships to students in the institutions of the State System who rank high in scholastic attainment and who need financial assistance. These schol- arships cover tuition, laboratory, and course fees. Recipients must pay the building fee, evaluation fee, and special fees. Application by students enrolled in profes- sional nursing curricula should be made to the director of the Department of Nursing Education not later than April 1. The W. K Kellogg Foundation Loan Fund is available to any student who needs financial assistance. Loans are made upon the recommendation of the director of the Department of Nursing Education. The maximum loan is $300 in any year. For Undergraduate Students. Scholarships are made available through the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs, the "40 and 8" of the American Legion, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Women of the Moose, the Oregon Mothers of the University of Oregon, the Portland Mothers of Oregon State Col- lege, and other groups. The Department of Nursing Education Basic Alumnae Association awards prizes of $25.00, $15.00, and $10.00 to the three senior students achieving the high- est scholastic standing. Awards are made by a joint committee representing the alumnae and administration of the Department of Nursing Education. The Mothers' Club of the Department of Nursing Education maintains a loan fund available to students in the basic professional curriculum. Arrangements for loans are made through the director of the department. For Graduate Nurses. A limited amount of money is available, under a provision of the Social Security Act, for financial assistance to graduate nurses enrolled for study in the field of public health nursing, in preparation for work in this field in the state of Oregon. Application should be made to the director of the Public Health Nursing Section of the Oregon State Board of Health. Information concerning other sources of financial assistance is available in the office of the Department of Nursing Education. Grading System The grading system consists of four passing grades, A, B, C, and D; failure, F; incomplete, Inc; withdrawn, W. A denotes exceptional accomplishment; B, superior; C, average; D, inferior. When the quality of the work is satisfactory, but the course has not been completed for reasons acceptable to the instructor, a 14 DEPARTMENT OF NURSING EDUCATION report of Inc may be made and additional time granted. If an Inc is not removed with a year, it automatically becomes an F. A student may withdraw from a course only with the approval of the department. A student who discontinues at~ tendance without official withdrawal receives a grade of F in the course. Scholarship Requirements Students in the Department of Nursing Education are required to maintain a grade average of C or better throughout the curriculum. Students receiving a grade average below C in any term are placed on probation for the following term. Students receiving a grade average below C for two successive terms are disquali- fied for further work in the department. Students receiving a grade of F in any course must repeat the course; but a student is permitted to repeat a course only if her grade average is C or above. Readmission of a student who withdraws because of illness or marriage de- pends on the amount of class work and clinical experience that remains to be com- pleted. The faculty of the department reserves the right to request the withdrawal of students who, in the judgment of the faculty, are unsuited for the nursing profes- sion-or, in the case of graduate nurse programs, lack the requisite aptitude for work in their special field. Course-Numbering System The uniform course-numbering system of the Oregon State System of Higher Education, as it applies to the courses of the Department of Nursing Education, is as follows: 1- 99; Courses in the first two years of a foreign language, or other courses of similar grade. 100-110, 200-210. SurveYor foundation courses that satisfy the lower-division group re- quirements in the Arts and Letters, Science, and Social Science groups. 111-199. Other courses offered at first-year level. 211-299. Other courses offered at second-year level. 300-399. Upper-llivision courses. 400-499. Upper-division courses primarily for seniors. Those 400-499 courses which are approved for graduate credit are designed (G). following the title. 500-599. Courses primarily for graduate students, hut to which seniors of superior scholas- tic achievement may he admitted on approval of instructor and department head concerned. Basic Curriculum in Nursing Education T HE Department of Nursing Education of the University of Oregon MedicalSchool offers a four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor ofScience. The curriculum prepares the student for state examinations for nurse registration. Degree Curriculum. The student in the four-year degree curriculum takes the first five terms of her work at the University of Oregon in Eugene, at Oregon State College in Corvallis, or at another accredited college or university. This work is followed by eleven terms in the Department of Nursing Education on the campus of the University of Oregon Medical School in Portland. The work in Portland is coordinated with clinical education in the University of Oregon Medi- cal School hospital and clinics. Students receive their degrees from the University of Oregon, unless they BASIC CURRICULUM 15 have taken their first five terms of work at Oregon State College, Pacific Uni- versity, or Linfield College; students who complete their prenursing work atone of these three institutions may receive their degrees from the institution attended. Objectives. The prenursing curriculum is planned to provide a sound educa- tional foundation through work in written and· spoken English, history, socio- economic problems, literature and the fine arts, and biological and physical sciences. The clinical curriculum is planned to provide opportunities for the student (1) to develop an understanding of the factors that contribute to the health of the peo- ple, (2) to acquire an appreciation of the complex roleo'f the nurse in the team of health workers in modern society, (3) to gain competence in the care of the sick of all ages, (4) to attain the fulfillment of potential capacities through ex- perience in classrooms, clinical situations, and student and professional activities, and (5) to achieve an understanding of her responsibilities as a mature person in her community and in her profession. Admission. A student seeking admission to the professional curriculum should: (1) send to the Medical School Registrar's Office an official transcript of her college record, with a $5.00 evaluation fee; (2) file an application (together with report of pre-entrance physical and dental examinations) on forms provided by the department, at least three months before the date of admission; (3) take the nursing-aptitude test given by the National League for Nursing, unless excused by the Committee on Admissions; and (4) have a personal interview, if possible. The Committee on Admissions selects students on the basis of scholarship and personal qualifications for the nursing profession. A limited number of transfer students may be accepted upon the recommenda- tion of the Committee on Admissions. Approval of transfer must also be obtained from the Oregon State Board for Examination and Registration of Nurses. A three-month period of orientation in clinical experience is required in the hospitals and clinics. No time allowance or academic credit is given for this orientation period. Affiliation Courses.

Regulations Governing Nonresident Fee The Oregon State Board of Higher Education has ruled that any person who comes into the state of Oregon for the purpose of attending one of the institu- tions under the control of the Board, and who for any reason is not qualified for classification as a resident of the state of Oregon, shall pay the nonresident fee, except: (a) a student who holds a degree from an accredited college or university and is registered in a curriculum other than professional dentistry, law, or medi- cine, (b) a student attending summer session, (c) a student paying part-time fees, (d) a student whose parent is a regular employee of the Federal government stationed in Oregon, or (e) a student whose father is domiciled in the state of Oregon as defined under (1) below. The residence or domicile of a student is normally that of his father; if his father is not living, it is normally that of his mother. In case of parents' divorce, the domicile of a student is generally determined by the residence of the parent to whom custody is granted by the court. The domicile of a wife is normally that of her husbaqd; if both are students, the wife's residence status is determined by that of the husband. The domicile of a student who is independent of the relations men- tioned above is determined by' rule (1) below. An alien cannot begin to establish residence until he has obtained his first citizenship papers. The Board has established the following rules to be observed in determining the residence status of students: (l) Residence and domicile are synonymous and domicile shaH be considered to be a fixed permanent residence to which the student has the intention of returning. The fixed permanent residence must normaHy have been maintained for at least twelve months prior to the school term for which resident classification is sought, and must be a bona fide residence which the student has no intention of changing when the school period has expired. Proved actual residence and intention to remain must exist simultaneously. Factors .used in determining intent include age and family status of the student, residence of near relatives, place of voting, ownership of prop· erty, sources of financial support, length of time within the state, record of employment and schooling (intent cannot be demonstrated by school attendance alone). (2) A student whose official records show his Own or his parents' domicile to be outside of Oregon is prima facia a nonresident, and the burden is upon the student to prove the contrary. If his official transcripts of academic record show attendance at a school outside of Oregon, he may be required to furnish further proof of Oregon domicile. , The evaluation fee is charged for the evaluation of transcripts submitted with the applica- tion for admission. , Student registering after the scheduled registration day of any term pay a fee of $1.00 for the first day and $1.00 for each additional ooy. 8 The first penalty day is one week after registration day. Enrollment is canceHed if fees are not paid two weeks after registration, and a $2.00 fee is required for reinstatement. BASIC CURRICULUM 17 (3) A nonresident at the time of enrollment is held to that classification throughout his attendance as a student, except where he can prove that his or her parent's previous domicile has been abandoned and a new one established in Oregon in accordance with these regulations. A resident stuoent will be reclassified as nonresident at any time his Oregon domicile is lost. Health Program Before admission to the basic nursing curriculum, a student is required to have a health examination, including a chest X-ray, by her family physician. Immuni- zation against smallpox, diphtheria, and typhoid fever and the completion of all necessary dental work are also required before admission. All students in the basic curricula receive an annual routine physical examination, including an orthopedic examination and an X-ray of the chest. Students with negative tuberculin reactions are retested every six months; those with positive tuberculin reactions are given periodic chest X-rays. A staff physician and nurse are on duty in the Student Health Office at speci- fied hours each day to provide necessary medical attention to students. In case of illness, students in the basic curriculum may be hospitalized for a limited period without charge. Students are allowed a liberal illness allowance computed on the basis of time allotment in each clinical area. Student Activities All basic students in the Department of Nursing Education, upon matricula- tion and payment of dues, become members of the Student Association. Through this organization for self-government, students have an opportunity to gain experi- ence in democratic living. A handbook is given to each student at the time of registration. This contains general information, the health program, social activities, etc. The Student Association sponsors a "big sister" program. An upperclass- woman is appointed as "big sister" for each entering student, to give her a per- sonal welcome and help her in adjusting to new situations. Teas, sponsored by various classes, afford a pleasant means for social contact between students and faculty. A number of dances are sponsored by the student organization during the year. For students who love sports, there is a wide variety of recreational opportunities-from tennis on the courts near the Medical School to skiing at nearby Mount Hood. Alpha Tau Delta, nursing society, maintains a chapter at the Medical School. Students in the department participate in the activities of the Oregon State Student Nurse CoUncil, an organization which includes students from all schools of nursing in the state.

PROGRAMS FOR GRADUATE NURSES 23 candidates for a degree. The professional courses are taken on the campus of the Medical School; the nonprofessional courses are taken, by degree candidates, at an accredited college or university. Part of the professional requirements may be satisfied through part-time study. All work not completed within three years is subject to re-evaluation by the graduate-nurse faculty of the Department of Nursing Education; additional work may be required after re-evaluation. Students must make a 2.00 grade-point average in their professional courses and demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the faculty, personal and professional fitness to practice professional nursing. Objectives The several programs for graduate nurses are planned to assist the student: (1) To broaden her professional background and increase her professional competence. (2) To develop skill. in interpersonal relations through increased under- standing of emotional development and principles of mental hygiene. (3) To develop increased understanding of how people learn and how the nurse may contribute more effectively to guidance of individuals and groups. (4) To develop understanding of the sociopsychological and economic impli- cations of illness. (5) To explore the role of the professional nurse in a changing society. (6) To study and observe patient needs and patient care in the home, clinic, and hospital. (7) To acquire knowledge concerning the facilities available to hospitals and health agencies for helping patients in their efforts to attain optimum health. Admission Requirements Graduation from a state-accredited school of nursing and current registered- nurse status is required for admission tQ all graduate-nurse courses. Students who wish to prepare for teaching in schools of nursing must have had at least one year of experience as a graduate nurse, preferably as a head nurse or assistant instructor. It is recommended, where possible, that the student who has had no previous college work take some general university or college courses before beginning the nursing program: Courses in English composition, general sociology, and general psychology are very helpful as general background for advanced work in nursing. The Committee on Admissions selects students on the basis of scholarship, personal qualifications, and professional experience and qualifications. Students seeking admission for work in any of the graduate-nurse programs should file with the Registrar of the Medical School: (1) an application, on an official application form, accompanied by a $5.00 evaluation fee; (2) a record of a physical examination (required for full-time students only); (3) official tran- scripts of high-school, college or university, and school-of-nursing work com- pletedat the time of application. Application and physical-examination forms will be furnished, on request, by the Registrar's Office. It is recommended that, if possible, these credentials be filed three months before the student expects to begin her studies. Advanced standing is not granted, at the time of admission, for work done in nonaccredited collegiate institutions. After three terms of satisfactory work, a student may petition for credit for courses taken in such institutions. 24 DEPARTMENT OF NURSING EDUCATION A transcript of the student's basic professional nursing course is evaluated after the satisfactory completion of 15 term hours of work in a graduate-nurse program. The student may receive between 40 and 60 term hours of credit toward a bachelor's degree for work in the basic curriculum in a state-accredited school of nursing. A Graduate Nurse Qualifying Examination is given during the first week of the term. A fee of $4.00 is charged for this examination. The examination should be taken before the student has completed 15 term hours of work in graduate- nurse courses. It is highly desirable that graduate-nurse programs be completed without interruption.

The association sponsors an orientation program, which includes a campus tour, intro- duction to the faculty, a tea, and other sOcial activities throughout the school year. A student handbook is given to each student at the time of registration. Degree Requirements' It is recommended that, if possible, students working toward a degree com- plete the required foundation courses outside the major field before beginning professional work in the nursing major. However, nurses in positions requiring preparation beyond the basic nursing curriculum may find it advantageous to take professional courses providing such preparation first, and satisfy the general degree requirements at a later date. (Nurses who,are not interested in a degree are admitted to the graduate-nurse program on the consent of advisers in the De- partment of Nursing Education.) The requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing education include, in addition to the satisfaction of major requirements in the Department of Nursing Education, the completion of rlOnmajor courses providing a general educational background. These courses may be taken at any accredited college Or university. Degree candidates who satisfy major requirements in the Department of Nursing Education receive their degrees from the University of Oregon, except that candidates who satisfy the general educational background requirement at Oregon State College receive their degrees from the State College. The Univer- sity requires a total of 186 term hours of work for a bachelor's degree; the Oregon State College requirement is 192 term hours. Both require 82 term hours of non- professional work outside the nursing major. The requirements outside the field of nursing include the following: (1) English Composition: 9 term hours. (2) Group requirement: Four sequences in liberal arts, numbered 100 to 110 or 200 to 210 in the catalogs of schools in the Oregon State System of Higher Edu- cation, including one sequence in each of the following three groups and a second sequence in one of the three groups (at least one sequence must be in courses num- bered 200 to 210) :' Arts and Letters-English or foreign literature. Social Science-general social science, anthropology, economics, geography, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology. Science-general science, biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics.
