A Short History of Nursing nursing leading to the Bachelor's Degree. The plan provides for such students two years of pre- liminary work in the college leading to the hospital training, followed by two full years in the hospital training school, and a final year in which the stu- dent specializes in public health nursing or teaching or some other branch. About the same time the Massachusetts General hospital and Simmons College completed a sim^ar arrangement, and there are now (1920) a number of five-year courses leading to a college degree. Among these are the course in Leland Stanford (affiliated with Lane hospital, San Francisco), a somewhat similar course in California University, and one in Colorado University. Two other Cali- fornia colleges. Mill's and the College of the Pacific, San Jose, give the two first years and send their students to Lane hospital or the University of California hospital for their professional training. Washington University, Seattle, and the Univer- sity of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, are planning to include in their affiliations, any train- ing schools of high standing in the state or province. There are a number of other nursing schools which have some connection with universities, but where the school has not yet been given full university status.
