Did You Know?

In the summer of 1941, University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing dean, Margaret Perkins Kuehn, PhD, RN, organized a pivotal educational workshop addressing the needs of practicing nurses. This activity focused on their ongoing scholastic needs and addressed the comparative analysis of nursing procedures and ward management. It was a landmark continuing education event held at the School of Nursing and was the catalyst for launching non-degree programs at the School of Nursing. Today, the mission remains the same to facilitate lifelong learning programming for the professional nurse.
