Biography

Lulu Wolf Hassenplug (1903-1995), R.N., B.S., M.P.H., Sc.D., was a pioneer and leader in the modern education of nurses, changing the concept of student nurse to that of nursing student and putting nursing on the road to professionalism. As founding dean of the UCLA School of Nursing (1948-1968), Mrs. Hassenplug created at that school the laboratory for her educational innovations.
