Abstract:
Hassenplug (1903-1995), was founding dean of the UCLA
School of Nursing (1949-1968). She was a pioneer and leader in modern education
of nurses, spearheading the movement to shift nursing education from the
hospital to the college campus and insisting that nurses be taught and treated
like students rather than as hospital employees. The collection consists of
correspondence, newspaper and magazine clippings, offprints and reprints,
research reports, mementos (programs, invitations, souvenir booklets,
scrapbooks), books, over 100 photographs, and 15 artifacts. The papers document
Hassenplug's career development, particularly her 20 years as Dean at UCLA, and
provide an informative picture of the major concerns in post-World War II
nursing education.
