    • To survey nurse associate training programs in the United States and its territories in 1972.
    • To characterize the typical program structure, duration, sponsorship, and financial support.

    Main Methods:

    • A nationwide survey of nurse associate training programs was conducted in 1972.
    • Data were collected via mailed questionnaires with follow-up by mail and telephone.
    • The survey achieved a 79% response rate from operating and planned programs.

    Main Results:

    • The typical program lasted 4-6 months, began in 1971, and was university-sponsored.
    • Financial support primarily came from sponsoring institutions or the National Institutes of Health.
    • Programs averaged 24 applications, admitted 16 students annually, and graduated 12 students at a cost of $3,536 per graduate.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurse associate training programs in 1972 were relatively short, university-based, and primarily served white women with prior nursing degrees.
