Historical Note

The Intercollegiate Center for Nursing Education, created in 1969 and located in Spokane, Washington, is a consortium of Eastern Washington University, Whitworth College, Ft. George Wright College, and Washington state University, which coordinates the program. Students choose to enroll in one of the participating institution, at which they complete their lower division study and general education requirements. For their upper division work the students enter the Intercollegiate Center for Nursing Education, the first nursing consortium in the United States. Located in the medical and geographical center for Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Western Montana and border towns of Canada, the Center strives to meet the area's need for a baccalaureate program in nursing thereby upgrading the practice of nursing in the local communities.

As the first nursing consortium in the U.S., the Center's history and development were accordingly well documented. An area which also consumed the Center's interest involved the method, and theory of nursing education. This issue was resolved in favor of the "holistic" approach to both nursing education and practice.
