  • PAA aarn-2223
  • Fonds
  • 1930-1995

The fonds consists of 15 files and 14 audiotapes. Each student prepared a brief biography of her subject, a time/footage summary of the audiotaped conversation, permission and authorization sheets, and a descriptive essay. If photographs of the subjects were available copies were made for the file. Each interviewer asked her subject to describe her family history, education background, decision to enter nursing training, hospital training received, further education, work experience, professional and community activities, and thoughts on the changes she had observed in nursing practice since her entry into the profession.
