New Department Regulations Effective June 20, 1955
The Department of Nursing approves new regulations regarding marriage and maternity leave.
The ban on student nurses marrying while in school was lifted. Students could now seek permission to marry at the end of 12 months in the school if they had a “B” grade in all their courses and they “demonstrated evidence of being mature."
The School of Nursing adopted a maternity leave policy. It required that the student inform the faculty of her pregnancy as soon as she was “diagnosed as pregnant.” Maternity leave began in the 5th Month of pregnancy and ended 2 months after the birth of the child, unless her physician extended it.
