Farr, G. Hansen, L. Maas L. Neville, M. Somers*, R. Swenson, H. Wayment Weber College commenced its Associate Degree Program in Nursing in 195 3 as a Pilot school in a Research Project of Teachers College, Columbia University. The research phase of the project was completed in 1957 and all of the pilot schools have continued to *On Sabbatical leave 1961-62. 107 conduct their programs. There are now approximately fifty similar programs in the United States. In a college environment, the students enjoy participation in the many social and cultural activities of the campus. The curriculum includes approximately equal distribution of broad general educational content and nursing courses. Facilities used to enrich the needed experiences include the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital, Shriner's Hospital, Utah State Tuberculosis Hospital, and a special unit within one of the public schools. The Program is available for students who have graduated from an accredited high school or the equivalent, who perform satisfactorily on the Weber College Placement tests, who are in good health and who are highly motivated as to a choice of careers. Successful completion of this program entitles the graduate to an Associate of Science Degree from Weber College and eligibility to write the State Board examinations for the Registered Nurse license. The program has accreditation from the State of Utah and the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The philosophy of the Associate Degree Program in Nursing is in harmony with that of Weber College. The nursing faculty holds the following beliefs: That education should afford an opportunity for the development of one's capacities in his social, professional, and personal roles. That this opportunity may be provided through a well- planned program based on scientific, cultural and social experiences. That an effective environment for learning provides for individual differences, fosters continuing growth in self direction, and promotes an awareness not only of one's special attitudes but of his limitations. That continuity of learning is achieved by concurrence of theory and laboratory experience. That by implementing the above principles the associate degree program will prepare a graduate who is able to give patient centered care in beginning general duty nurse positions, and to draw upon his scientific knowledge and understanding of human behavior and needs in giving this care.
