The Florida State University School of Nursing offers two programs leading to the Bachelor of Science Degrees in Nursing or Nursing Education. Both programs are planned to include the full general educational requirements of the University, giving all nurses a solid foundation on which to base their professional education. The first program prepares the student just out of high school to develop to her fullest potential in her abilities to make intelligent decisions and practice positive mental and physical health, as well as to learn about hospital care of patients. Pub- lic health agencies, a mental hospital, a nursery school, a large general hospital, a tuberculosis hospital, and rural hospitals all contribute to the basic education of these students. The second program prepares nurses who are already registered to assume leadership positions in many areas in nursing. This is done through a core curriculum centered about principles in administration and teaching. Both programs are concerned with the needs of nursing in this state and region, although graduates of the programs can already be found in the worldwide setting. MISS VIVIAN M.
