Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Course materials are arranged in six subseries: 1. Clinical course materials; 2. Course evaluations; 3. Course outlines and study guides; 4. Examinations; 5. Lectures and student notes; 6. Program evaluations. Materials all subseries are arranged in chronologically, except for lecture notes, which is arranged alphabetically. Course materials from NEDH SON are frequently identified by course title or the students' class year. Clinical course materials consist of procedure manuals, course outlines, and other instructional booklets, such as precedent books, for students regarding the hands-on skills they needed to acquire. A representative sample of clinical rotation schedules and correlation charts are also included. Course evaluations include summaries of student survey responses about course content and instructors. Course outlines and study guides are frequently found together; some lecture notes and bibliographies may also be included in the course packets. Lecture and student notes contain a set of notes attributed to Claire G. Elliott, class of 1922, whose scrapbook is included in the scrapbooks series. Also in the lecture and student notes subseries is a notebook that belonged to Elizabeth H. Winslow, dated around the turn of the twentieth century, which includes recipes for nurses in addition to notes on medical diagnoses and treatments. Program evaluation records contain assessments of various areas of the School of Nursing, such as curriculum evaluation, recruitment, faculty development and continuing education, rules and regulations, and organization plans. The final evaluations were presented to the Faculty Council on an annual basis; agendas for these presentations are often included.
