Historical Note

The University of Washington School of Nursing was only the second school of nursing in the United States to be based in a university, and the first on the West Coast. As a result of the need for nurses in World War I, University of Washington President Henry Suzzallo recommended the development of a nursing education program which began in 1918. Elizabeth Sterling Soule organized the Department of Nursing in the College of Science in 1921. The Department began offering a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in 1923. In 1932, the department received its own building on campus. In 1934 the Department of Nursing became a School of Nursing Education in the College of Arts and Sciences. Master of Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing degrees were approved in 1936. In 1945, Nursing became an independent school in the Division of Health Sciences with Elizabeth Soule as the first dean.
