Yale School of Nursing

Yale School of Nursing was founded in 1923 as the first school within a university to prepare nurses under an educational rather than an apprenticeship program. The school graduated its first class in 1926.  For over 100 years after its founding, YSN still educates nurses to be agents of social and political change focused on improving the health of all people.

Please note:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers would like to assure the participants that ensuring their and the study staff’s safety is of utmost importance.
