MSOE to take over county's nursing school program
Milwaukee Journal, The, Mar 8, 1995
The Milwaukee School of Engineering will take over Milwaukee County's School of Nursing and start admitting students this fall.
The plan, which had been approved by the Milwaukee County Board, has received the approval of the state Board of Nursing to proceed.
The county school, which has 300 students enrolled in a three- year program, was destined to be phased out because of waning interest in and demand for such training, which resulted in a nursing diploma.
The new program will take four years to complete and result in a bachelor of science degree in nursing.
"The university will be able to graduate a nurse with proficiency in working with diagnostic, monitoring and treatment equipment," says a statement from MSOE President Hermann Viets.
Patricia Haslbeck, who heads the school now, will become program director and a professor in MSOE's department of nursing.
MSOE has other medical technical programs, including an undergraduate biomedical engineering program and a master's degree program in perfusion, or maintaining fluid and oxygen through tissues, especially in surgical situations.
