On April 26, 1932, Stella Hawkins of the University of the State of New York State Board of Nurse Examiners submitted her Report of the Survey of the UVA Hospital School of Nursing to determine if the SON met the requirements for registration by the NY State Board of Examiners. Following her survey, Hawkins concluded that the SON needed to make several adjustments before registration could be granted. These included the need to increase the graduate supervision of student nurses; an increase in laboratory hours; the keeping of statistics records of the clinical facilities available to students; reorganization of the diet kitchen; that all medicine cabinets be kept locked; and improved recording keeping.
This source includes subsequent correspondence, including from Josephine McLeod, who was very disappointed not to secure registration from the NY State Board of Nurse Examiners, as well as discussion of the subsequent adjustments made by the school.
