AND HOSPITAL EBENEZER SOCIETY Deaconess Hospital E LAl<E ST Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing is ideally located close to downtown Minneapolis at 2315 14th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The first building with a maximum bed capacity of twelve was a frame dwelling at 2731 Hennepin A venue. Young women called into the service of the Master as deaconesses cared for the patients. In 1891 the first building on the present site was purchased and remodeled for hospital use. The sick continued to be cared for by deaconesses, graduates and students. In 1916, on the foundations laid by the Diaconate, and in response to the demands for more adequately prepared nurses, Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing was established under the direction of Miss Inger Bergh. The ideals of Christian service which inspired the pioneering deaconesses became also those of the leaders who followed. Since the beginning, the School has offered a three year diploma program in basic nursing, preparing nurses to take the examinations leading to state registration (R.N.). Continuous efforts have been made to meet nursing needs of people through many periods of social change. Lutheran Deaconess Hospital is located within the metropolitan area of Minneapolis and participates in the delivery of health care to the inner city residents. The present bed capacity is two hundred forty-five. In 1967 a nursing school building, Anna Bergeland Hall, was completed. This building provides school offices, classrooms, library, lounges and recreational facilities in addition to dormitory rooms for nursing students. In 1973 Lutheran Deaconess Hospital entered into a consolidation with the Fairview Hospitals to form the Fairview Community Hospitals. In 1976 with the closing of Fairview Hospital School of Nursing, Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing became the school for the Fairview Community Hospitals.

The School of Nursing faculty believes that: NURSING is a science and an art which seeks to preserve and promote health by meeting physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient as a member of family and community. As a profession, nursing is the unique integration of the art of caring with the application of the natural and behavioral sciences. The nursing process is used to facilitate a person's ability to adapt and to move toward self-actualization. EDUCATION is a life-long learning process, integrating and developing knowledge, attitudes and skills. Through participation in the learning process, the learner should be able to lead a full and purposeful life and function as a responsible citizen. Specifically, nursing education provides systematic direction and guidance in using scientific principles and the art of nursing to facilitate the development of knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for professional nursing. LEARNING involves changes in the learner's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor responses. Learning is an active, continuous process influenced by the learner's intellectual ability, experience, environment, and attitudes. Facilitation of learning occurs when education is sequential and proceeds from simple to complex as students advance in the educational program and when opportunities for practice are provided concurrently with theory. In addition, a Christian and democratic atmosphere promotes learning. Christian faith instills a spirit of love which promotes the ideas of worth of the individual and of service to one's fellow man, and the democratic process promotes respect for the rights of others and for their opinions together with freedom to explore and question. The ROLE OF FACULTY is to facilitate the learning process by providing an environment conducive to acquiring knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to give professional nursing care. The faculty assumes the responsibility for planning, implementing, evaluating and revising learning experiences. The STUDENT shares the responsibility for his own learning and self-development through self-involvement and utilization of guidance which fosters self-direction. 5 The SCHOOL meets its commitment of service to the community by preparing a safe practitioner who responds to the health needs of the community as a member of the interdisciplinary health care team by promoting wellness, intervening during illness, and rehabilitating to optimum functioning. The school is responsible for meeting the student's educational needs through providing a curriculum based on scientific fact, current knowledge, sequential learning, continuity, and integration of major areas of nursing. Furthermore, the school assumes the responsibility to provide an educationally prepared faculty who functions as effective instructors and role models, and requires a high standard of performance by the student to meet the school's responsibility to the community. Lastly, the school assumes the responsibility of providing the appropriate and necessary facilities to allow for the optimum interaction of the students and the faculty through the use of the curriculum.

Interactions with the health team and with groups in the community help the student develop leadership skills. At each level of the curriculum, there exists a set of courses or course that reflects a disciplinary or a synthesis of disciplinary and competency based learning designs. The disciplinary based learning design is featured in the courses offered at Augsburg College and in the classroom component of each course taught at the School of Nursing, because this design stresses the importance of theory, its role in the curriculum, and the changing nature of theory. The competency based learning design is featured in the clinical component of the School of Nursing courses because it allows the student to systematically apply theory to the nursing process through the mastery of specific nursing skills. 27 Curriculum Organization Four levels of learning have been identified and courses are provided at each level to assist the student in achieving the objectives at each of the levels. Such a curriculum design was developed and implemented because it provides a continuous and sequential learning environment that emphasizes a simple to complex learning approach.

LEVEL I This level consists of fundamental science and psychosocial courses and introductory courses in nursing and the health care system. Anatomy and physiology, chemistry, microbiology, psychology, and English courses are taken at Augsburg College located near the School of Nursing.

At the School of Nursing, fundamental nursing skills and attitudes are developed through introductory nursing courses utilizing basic scientific principles and correlated clinical experiences. The emphasis is on the healthy individual, the client, and the nurse. The nursing process is introduced as the student learns to assume the comforting and protecting roles for her clients. LEVEL II The second level focuses on maintaining and promoting an individual's abilities to meet health needs and assisting individuals in meeting these needs.
