Nina Gage later served as president of the Chinese Nursing
Association between 1912 and 1914. By 1915, China established
an examination system for the professional certification
of nurses, followed by Asia's first 5-year bachelor
of nursing degree at the Peking Union Medical College in
1920 (Hong & Yatsushiro, 2003). This facility became the
first of many nursing schools to flourish between the 1920s
and 1930s, with 183 registered facilities by 1937 (Chan &
Wong, 1999). In 1930 the first government-funded nursing
school was established, and this number gradually increased.
By 1936, there were at least 6000 nurses officially registered
with the Nursing Association of China (Watt, 2004).
By 1949, a total of 216 three or four year nurse-training
programs were underway. Overall, during the first half of
last century it can be said that tertiary education was a reasonably
successful undertaking for Chinese nursing. Between
1924 and 1952 for example, the Peking Union Medical
College graduated a total of 264 bachelor-degree level
nurses (Xu et al., 2000).
