I would like to acknowledge my readers, Mike Kotowski, Annie Kotowski, Mimi Simon, Patsy Matteson, Dr. Betty O’Shaughnessy, and Charlie Heintz, for their patience as devoted editors of my work.

I would like to thank my colleagues at North Park University School of Nursing and Health Sciences for their constant encouragement and prayers. Most importantly I would like to thank my family. My children Jack, Paddy, Annie (who cross checked all those references and citations for me), and Maggie – all of this work has been for you. And finally, to my husband, Mike, truly the most kind and patient man in all the world who knows more about Imogene King than he ever imagined he would know about anyone. He has been my sounding board, my critic, and my coach, without him none of this would have ever come to fruition. v For my family, Mike, Jack, Paddy, Annie, and Maggie.

King’s Dynamic Interacting Systems Framework 5 xi ABSTRACT Imogene King was a pioneer in the profession of nursing. Known primarily for her work as a nurse theorist, King’s career encompassed a great deal more. King was a nurse educator who impacted the lives and careers of hundreds of students through her direct teaching, her mentorship, and generous spirit when it came to share knowledge. King was also a leader in the profession of nursing taking an active role in the various state American Nurse Associations (ANA) where she lived. The ANA awarded her with the prestigious Jessie M. Scott Award for her outstanding work in education. Also, an active member and prolific speaker for Sigma Theta Tau who honored King in the inaugural class of the Virginia Henderson Fellows. This is a historical research dissertation that explores the life of Imogene King that primarily utilizes a biographical framework to describe who King was from her early and informative years growing up in a small town in Iowa along the Mississippi River to her work as a nurse educator, leader, and nurse theorist. Through this historical lens, I will argue the life experiences, such as the influence of her father, the Jesuits, Mildred Montag, and Teacher’s College, Columbia University amongst others, of King that distinguish those particular points in her life that were influential on what made King, with particular attention to those things that influenced her to become a pioneer in nursing theory.

New graduates who have completed a Board of Nursing approved nursing education program on or after March 10, 2020 are eligible to apply for the temporary graduate permit. WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT? • Verification of program completion by the Nursing Program Director (for North Carolina graduates) or review of an official transcript (for out-of-state graduates) • Applicant completes the online application for licensure by examination. • Applicant completes the registration and payment for testing to Pearson VUE ($200). • Applicant submits the application for Criminal Background Check (CBC) ($38): Live Scan for North Carolina residents; complete and return the CBC packet if out-of-state resident. • A temporary North Carolina (single state) permit will be issued by email within 10 business days of all documentation being completed. HOW LONG IS THE TEMPORARY PERMIT VALID? The temporary permit is issued with an end date of six months, with no renewal option, and will be valid for that time until: • The graduate takes and passes the NCLEX examination and all requirements for Criminal Background Check have been fulfilled. Once all requirements for licensure are met, the temporary permit will be deactivated, and a North Carolina permanent license will be issued. • The graduate takes and fails the NCLEX examination. Upon electronic notification by Pearson VUE of a “Fail” score, NCBON will automatically deactivate the temporary permit.

  • Gender, Class, and the History of The
    REFRAMING DISORDER: GENDER, CLASS, AND THE HISTORY OF THE RESURFACING DEBATE IN NURSING by April D. Matthias July, 2011 Director of Dissertation: Sylvia T. Brown Major Department: Nursing The nursing profession has sustained a state of disorder. The debate within the disorder historically exists in relationship to multiple educational pathways for entry into RN practice. Diploma, BSN, and ADN pathways still exist today as a means to enter into nursing practice through RN licensure. Historical research of the three pathway developments is significant and timely in that the evidence from the study helps to shed light on professional issues resurfacing in the “BSN in 10” proposals. The purpose of this research is to understand the socio-cultural-political context surrounding the decisions to develop the diploma, BSN, and ADN educational pathways; the historical debate concerning the role and functions, educational pathway, and professional identity of the entry-level RN; and the relationship between the educational pathway developments and the resurfacing historical debate. Historical case study research focused on three historical decision points for the educational pathway developments: Diploma-Bellevue Training School for Nurses in New York, 1873; BSN-University of Cincinnati School for Nursing and Health in Ohio, 1916; and ADN-Orange County Community College nursing program in Middletown, New York, 1952. Archival retrieval of primary documents for each case study was completed. Each educational pathway development revealed divisions of gender and paternalistic control over nursing, divisions of class within nursing, and an undefined division of nursing labor. Prolonged paternalistic control rooted in divisions of gender, coupled with the divisions of class and unstructured divisions of labor within nursing, prevented full realization of a professional, collegiate education for entry into RN practice.

  • The Misunderstood Philosophy of Thomas Paine
    THE MISUNDERSTOOD PHILOSOPHY OF THOMAS PAINE A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of History Jason Kinsel December, 2015 THE MISUNDERSTOOD PHILOSOPHY OF THOMAS PAINE Jason Kinsel Thesis Approved: Accepted: ______________________________ _____________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Walter Hixson Dr. Chand Midha ______________________________ ______________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martino-Trutor Dr. Chand Midha ______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Date Dr. Martin Wainwright ii ABSTRACT The name Thomas Paine is often associated with his political pamphlet Common Sense. The importance of “Common Sense” in regards to the American Revolution has been researched and debated by historians, political scientists, and literary scholars. While they acknowledge that Paine’s ideas and writing style helped to popularize the idea of separation from Great Britain in 1776, a thorough analysis of the entirety of Paine’s philosophy has yet to be completed. Modern scholars have had great difficulty with categorizing works such as, The Rights of Man, Agrarian Justice, and Paine’s Dissertation on First Principles of Government. Ultimately, these scholars feel most comfortable with associating Paine with the English philosopher John Locke. This thesis will show that Paine developed a unique political philosophy that is not only different from Locke’s in style, but fundamentally opposed to the system of government designed by Locke in his Second Treatise of Government. Furthermore, I will provide evidence that Paine’s contemporary’s in the American Colonies and Great Britain vehemently denied that Paine’s ideas resembled those of Locke in any way.
