School of Nursing Memories
The UNC Charlotte School of Nursing was founded in 1965 under the direction of President Bonnie Cone in what was then the Charlotte College. Miss Bonnie’s Nurses: The First Fifty Years of Nursing at UNC Charlotte traces the history of the school to its position today as the premier choice for providing the highest quality of nursing education with a commitment to community engagement in the Charlotte region and beyond.
Ann Mabe Newman and Dona Haney, both alumni with close ties going back to the program’s earliest years, add their personal perspective to this account of the people who shaped the institution and its history. Adding to their close knowledge of the school are the voices and memories of deans, alumni, and faculty that were collected for the book. Click this link to order your copy from Amazon today!
