Excerpt

Ninety years ago, on January 2, 1931, the Duke University School of Nursing opened its doors to its first class of 24 students. Only a year earlier, Dean Bessie Baker, RN, moved to Durham to lead the new nursing school and to also become head of Nursing Services for the new Duke Hospital. Baker served as dean, instructor, recruiter, and hospital liaison at Duke University. Ann Henshaw was the first instructor.
