History of Nursing Education Evolution Mildred Montag

Mildred Montag, doctor of philosophy, is renowned for her influence on nursing education. Her evolutionary steps to address a nursing shortage moved nursing students into a decisive curriculum model and out of hospital-based programs. Her doctoral dissertation proposed that creating a 2-year program to prepare technical nurses would address the nursing shortage occurring at that time. The goal was to provide a workforce to assist the professional nurse who she envisioned as having a baccalaureate degree.
