Statistics of Nurse Training Schools, 1919-1920. Bulletin, 1921, No. 51

This report contains summaries by States, but no detailed statistics of individual schools. Such statistics were published in Bureau of Education Bulletin, 1918, No. 73, and only slight changes have occurred since that document was printed. Graphic and interpretative treatment of the data in this bulletin will appear in a bulletin to be published later, entitled "Statistical Survey of Education for 1919-20," and will eventually be incorporated with this report in the Biennial Survey of Education for 1918-20. Following brief reports on schools in outlying possessions and information on tuition, 19 tables provide details on the following subjects: (1) Comparative statistics of nurse training schools, 1880-1920; (2) Distribution of nurse training schools according to length of course offered; (3) Distribution of nurse training schools according to the educational requirements for admission in 1918 and 1920; (4) Distribution of nurse training schools according to the minimum age requirements for admission; (5) Distribution of nurse training schools according to number of hours of duty required daily; (6) Distribution of nurse training schools according to remuneration granted (not including schools giving no remuneration); (7) Distribution of nurse training schools in general hospitals according to capacity (beds) and average number of patients treated daily; (8) Distribution of nurse training schools in hospitals for the insane according to capacity (beds) and average number of patients daily; (9) Summary of statistics of schools for the training of professional nurses, including schools in hospitals for treatment of the insane, in 1919-20; (10) Summary of statistics of general nurse training schools in 1919-20; (11) Summary of statistics of schools in hospitals for treatment of the insane, training pupils for professional nurses, in 1919-20; (12) Distribution of nurse training schools and nurse pupils according to the educational requirement for admission in general hospitals, 1919-20; (13) Distribution of nurse training schools and nurse pupils according to the educational requirement for admission in hospitals for treatment of the insane, 1919-20; (14) Distribution of general nurse training schools according to minimum age requirements for admission, in 1919-20; (15) Distribution of nurse training schools according to minimum age requirement for admission to nurse training schools in hospitals for the insane, in 1919-20; (16) Distribution of general nurse training schools according to the number of hours of duty required daily and the length of course offered in 1919-20; (17) Distribution of nurse training schools according to the number of hours of duty required daily in hospitals for treatment of the insane, in 1919-20; (18) Distribution of general nurse training schools according to remuneration granted to pupils in 1919-20; and (19) Distribution of nurse training schools according to remuneration granted to pupils enrolled in schools in hospitals for treatment of the insane, in 1919-20.
