From its inception in 1942, the Canadian Association of University Schools of Nursing (CAUSN) has developed into the accrediting agency for university nursing programs and the national voice for its 30 member schools. The current research examines the creation in 1942 of the Provisional Council of University Schools and Departments of Nursing, the forerunner of the CAUSN. The research is historical in design. Primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed inductively. Primary data consisted of archival documents located in the Queen's University Archives, Kingston, Ontario and the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Archives, Ottawa, Ontario. Secondary data augmented and corroborated analysis of primary data and included published histories of the CAUSN and the CNA, as well as books and articles about the development of university nursing education in Canada. The impetus for the inception in 1942 of the Provisional Council of University Schools and Departments of Nursing originated with the CNA. The Provisional Council subsequently achieved none of its stated goals. Instead, it focused on its relationship with the CNA and contested the need for its own existance. The Provisional Council was a reactionist association that reflected the uncoordinated nature of university nursing education and the inability of university nursing educators to set aside parochial differences.
加拿大大学护理学院协会（CAUSN）自1942年成立以来，已发展成为大学护理专业的认证机构以及其30个成员学校的全国性代言人。当前的研究考察了1942年大学护理学院和系临时委员会的创建，该委员会是CAUSN的前身。这项研究在设计上属于历史研究。通过归纳法收集并分析了主要和次要数据。主要数据包括位于安大略省金斯顿女王大学档案馆以及安大略省渥太华加拿大护士协会（CNA）档案馆的档案文件。次要数据补充并佐证了对主要数据的分析，包括CAUSN和CNA已发表的历史，以及关于加拿大大学护理教育发展的书籍和文章。1942年大学护理学院和系临时委员会成立的推动力源自CNA。临时委员会随后并未实现其既定目标。相反，它专注于与CNA的关系，并对自身存在的必要性提出质疑。临时委员会是一个反动协会，反映了大学护理教育的不协调性质以及大学护理教育工作者无法搁置狭隘分歧的状况。
