The book highlights faculty and students, nursing traditions, including the pinning ceremony and creation of the UF CON nurse’s hat, special events such as the College’s first commencement, and attendance at conventions, and extracurricular events, especially in 1958 and 1960.

Ever wonder how accurate your favorite medical dramas are in portraying the process of health care? Do you get frustrated when your profession is portrayed unrealistically? The HSC Library hosted College of Nursing faculty as they critiqued popular representations of nurses in television and movies. They discussed which shows are getting nurses right, and which ones are more fiction than fact in this one-hour panel which included clips from famous medical dramas.
The UF Health Science Center Libraries in association with the NLM Pictures of Nursing Exhibit hosted the Military and Wartime Nursing Panel. We heard the riveting experiences of nurses who’ve served.
This HSC Library-coordinated event discussed how the history of nursing impacts its future, from renowned nursing scholar Dr. Julie Fairman.
