Scope and Content Note

19340-99: The accretion represents the program files of all accredited nursing programs that are no longer in operation ("rescinded"). Individual files typically contain applications for accreditation; feasibility studies; pre-opening site visit reports; institutional evaluation reports; annual narrative reports submitted by the institutions; memoranda; correspondence; and other documents associated with the bureau's review and evaluation functions.

19340-99A: This accretion consists of institutional self-study reports that were submitted to the Bureau of Nursing Education prior to the bureau's periodic on-site accrediting visits. The self studies are of two kinds: those for licensed practical nursing programs; and those for registered nursing programs. Although each report varies somewhat in format and/or layout, most invariably include information on the institution's mission/philosophy; resources (financial and physical); organization and administration; curriculum; faculty; students and information provided to them; and program evaluation/effectiveness.

19340-01: This accretion consists of several records types including program files of registered nursing programs and licensed practical nursing programs, self-study reports, program files of rescinded nursing programs (1865-2000), and annual narrative reports submitted by institutions (1996-1998).

19340-03: This accretion consists entirely of approximately 60 self-study reports for the years 2000-2003.
