Nursing education at the University of South Carolina began in 1942 as part of a national effort to meet the nursing needs of a nation at war. The nursing program originated as a small department within Arts and Sciences. An autonomous school of nursing was founded in 1957 under its first dean Amy Viglione and students were admitted to the new four-year bachelor of science in nursing program in 1958. With the addition of a master's program in 1971, the school became the College of Nursing. These and other shifts in the mission, programs, research, and degrees spanning the sixty-three-year history of the nursing program are recorded in detail in A Legacy of Caring.Williams, Carol A. is the author of 'Legacy of Caring Nursing Education at the University of South Carolina, 19422005', published 2007 under ISBN 9781570036842 and ISBN 1570036845.
