Description: Pamphlet with brown and cream cover, and cream interior pages, stapled. Clean and without marking; slight wear at fold. This position paper is the American Nurses Association’s 1965 statement on nursing education which proposed that education should take place "in institutions of learning within the general system of education" rather than diploma schools and training schools associated with hospitals. This was a substantial step in the direction of professionalization in nursing, though it was polarizing among nurses of the time. It lays out two levels of nursing practice: a professional level in which minimum preparation was at the baccalaureate level, and a technical level, in which minimum preparation was at the associate degree level. The paper recognizes the increasing complexity of nursing education, and of societal, technological, and governmental structures, and makes the case for simultaneous changes in the nursing profession and its educational preparation. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Paperback pamphlet, good condition. 16 pages, octavo.
