HISTORY
The Milledgeville State Hospital was established in 1842 and has
continued to grow and improve to meet an ever increasing demand.
The hospital has a daily average of 8166 patients and 963
employees.
The School of Nursing, offering a two year course, was established
and chartered by an act of the General Assembly in 1910.
The course was extended to a three year course in 1912, though
a new charter was not granted until 1916.
In 1923 provision was made for an affiliation of six months with
some large general hospital. This was increased to nine months in
1923 and to twelve months in 1938. The students are sent to a
large general hospital school of nursing at the beginning of the
junior year for one year's affiliation.
The school is approved by the Board of Examiners of Nurses for
Georgia and the American Psychiatric Association.
Because of the type of hospital and because of the great need for
nurses, educated in the care of mentally ill patients, we feel this
school offers opportunities to the young woman to prepare herself
for a service, the education for which is not offered in a general hospital. The one year affiliation in a general hospital gives the student
a well rounded education and prepares her to nurse all types of illness.
Graduates of the school are eligible for enrollment in the American
Red Cross Nursing Service and employment in all fields of the Nursing Profession.
The School of nursing is located in the Jones Building which accommodates 350 beds. This unit is used for clinical instruction for
student nurses.
The school was approved by the United States Public Health
Service for participation in the United States Cadet Nurse Corps program on November 16, 1945.
