Yale School of Nursing (YSN) is the nursing school of Yale University, located in West Haven, Connecticut. The school is ranked in the top ten graduate schools of nursing in the United States by U.S. News and World Report and among nursing institutions that have received support from the National Institutes of Health.[1]

Established in 1923 in New Haven, Connecticut, YSN moved in 2013 to Yale University's West Campus, located in West Haven and Orange, CT.

The school also has the Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing (GEPN) program, which is intended for students with a bachelor's degree but no background in nursing. Joint degree programs are available with Yale School of Public Health and Yale Divinity School.

In addition to degree programs, YSN offers pre and post doctoral research training and post-master's certificates in various nurse practitioner specialities.[1]

History

Former campus of the Yale School of Nursing in The Hill

The Yale School of Nursing was founded in 1923 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. It celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2013.

The Yale School of Nursing was the first School of Nursing to adopt the strong professional standards from the Goldmark Report of 1923 which it had sponsored with the Rockefeller Foundation to determine the best form of nurse training in 1918. [2] It had its own Dean, faculty, budget and required a standardized degree. Annie Warburton Goodrich was appointed the first Dean of YSN and was the first woman Dean at Yale University.

In 1934, bachelor's degrees were required for admission and Yale Corporation authorized the Master of Nursing degree. This program, allowing students with no prior background in nursing graduate entry, would continue until 1956 when the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program began. The MSN required students to have a prior background in nursing in order to gain entry into the program. The Nurse Practitioner track within the MSN degree was established in 1971 with the offering of the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner specialty. This was expanded in 1972, when the Family Nurse Practitioner specialty began. By 1975 YSN offered 10 specialty programs and tracks, and was at the vanguard of the education of nurse practitioners at the graduate level along with clinical nurse specialists and nurse-midwives. In 1974, YSN reopened admission for students with no prior background in nursing through its Three-Year Program for Non-Nurse College Graduates (later called the GEPN program).[3]
