Venue description

The School has prepared graduates for initial licensure since it inception in 1893. In the 1950's the entry level program became a baccalaureate degree. In the late 1980's an innovative program providing educational access for RN's returning for baccalaureate education was begun. In the early 1970's a certificate nurse practitioner program was begun and in the mid 1970's the first master's program in nursing was established here at VCU. In the early 1980's the NP certificate program was redeveloped within the masters framework. In the 1990's a revision of the masters curriculum placed us on the cutting edge of the new concept in advanced practice nursing. Post master's certificate program for advanced practice were added for master prepared nurses to prepare for new areas of clinical responsibilities. In the late 1980's a doctoral program in nursing was established.
