School of Nursing
JEAN E. BOYLE, M.N., Director of the School of Nursing.
THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON has offered professional instruction in
nursing in Portland since 1919; a degree curriculum was established in 1926.
Until 1932 the program in nursing was administered through the Portland Division
of the School of Sociology and the Portland School of Social Work. When
the social-work program was discontinued in 1932, instruction in nursing was
transferred to the University of Oregon Medical School, where it was offered
through the Department of Nursing Education. A graduate program, leading to
the Master of Science degree, was established in 1955. In the fall of 1960, the
department was reorganized as the University of Oregon School of Nursing.
The School of Nursing offers two curricula which lead to the Bachelor of
Science degree-one for basic students with no previous preparation in nursing
and one for registered nurses from diploma schools of nursing. These programs
include preparation for beginning positions in public health nursing. An advanced
curriculum leading to the Master of Science degree provides graduate study and
advanced professional education.
The first year of the basic degree program is offered on the Eugene campus
of the University of Oregon (see pages 191-192) and by other accredited colleges
and universities. The following three years of the basic program and all other
nursing programs of the School of Nursing are offered on the campus of the University
of Oregon Medical School in Portland. The School of Nursing utilizes the
teaching resources of the hospitals and clinics of the Medical School, the Division
of Continuing Education of the Oregon State System of Higher Education and
Portland State College.
Upper-division courses in public health nursing are offered on the Eugene
campus for senior students in the School of Nursing who are assigned to health
agencies in Eugene for clinical experience.
The programs of the School of Nursing are accredited by the National
Accreditation Service and the Oregon State Board of Nursing; the school is a
member of the Department of Baccalaureate and Higher Degree Programs of the
National League for Nursing.
Detailed information concerning the School of Nursing is published in a
separate catalog, copies of which will be furnished by writing to: Director, University
of Oregon School of Nursing, 3181 S.v.,r. Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland,
Oregon.
