New Jersey State Board of Examiners of Nurses

Content Note

The 1912 legislation creating the State Board of Examiners of Nurses required that certain information for each applicant be included in the board's permanent records. The registers in this series contain all of this information (as well as other data), as follows: name, age, nativity, last residence, permanent residence, application/photograph number, graduation from grammar school and high school (or equivalant education), name of nursing school and years attended, diplomas or degrees held, certificates held (from other states), date registered or rejected, and registry number. A name index is included at the beginning of each register; the index to Register No. 1 was also redone as a separate volume (no. 12).

NOTE: Applications for registration by reciprocity were at first recorded along with applications for examination (in volume no. 1); beginning in 1923, they are recorded in separate registers (nos. 18 & 19).
