One hundred years of excellence in nursing. The University of Cincinnati College of Nursing and Health, 1889-1989.
The history of the College of Nursing and Health mirrors the history of the profession. In 1889, students were handmaidens to the doctor; now they are educated to be professionals functioning within the framework of the nursing process. The College of Nursing and Health at the University of Cincinnati has flourished. It began in 1889 as a small private hospital school with five students. There are now 855 students, 54 full-time faculty and 17 part-time faculty. A doctoral program in nursing at the College of Nursing and Health, approved by the National League of Nursing, began in 1989. The College of Nursing and Health has a long history of including occupational health content in its programs, dating back to 1914. The master's program to prepare occupational health nurses was a core program in the first Education Resource Center in the United States.
