Papers of Eleanor Lambertsen (1916-1998) documenting her illustrious nursing career.
Eleanor Lambertsen was a leader in American nursing education. She trained at the Overlook Hospital School of Nursing in Summit, NJ, and completed her education – BS and EdD – at Teachers College, Columbia University. Her dissertation, “Education for Nursing Leaders,” completed in 1957, introduced the model of team nursing, a model that is still influential in nursing practice today. In 1958, she became the first Director of the Division of Nursing of the American Hospital Association. She remained in this position until 1961, whereupon she returned to Teachers College as the director of the nursing education division. From 1963 to 1969, she was President of the American Nurses Foundation. In 1970 she moved on to the post of Dean of the School of Nursing at Cornell University-New York Hospital. Her scholarly work created the basis for the revised legal definition of nursing in the landmark revision of the New York State Nurse Practice Act in 1972; she served consultant for the NYSNA Special Committee to Study the Nurse Practice Act from 1969 to 1972. In the 1970s and 1980s, she served on various boards and committees, such as that of Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the World Health Organization’s expert advisory council on nursing. She continued teaching well into the 1980s.

Biographical Sketch
Born in Fanwood, N.J. in 1916, Eleanor Lambertsen was a leader in nursing education who was best known for developing the concept of team nursing.
Lambertsen graduated from Overlook Hospital School of Nursing in Summit, New Jersey in 1938. She earned a B.S. in 1949, a M.A. Teachers College, Columbia University including a bachelor’s in 1949, a in 1950 and a Ed.D. in 1957.
Lambertsen held high positions in schools of nursing, hospitals and professional organizations, though she started her career as many nurses of her time did: working night duty at the hospital where she received her diploma. She was named director of the nursing school at Overlook Hospital in 1943, and took on the role of acting director of the hospital in 1946. She was named as the first director of the division of nursing at the American Hospital Association (AHA) in 1958. She also served as assistant secretary, professional practices at AHA. She held the position of director, division of nursing, at Teachers College from 1961 to 1968, during which she had a profound influence on the many nurse leaders who graduated from the school. In 1968 she was named director of all health services at Teachers College. In 1970 she accepted the position of dean of the Cornell University-New York Hospital School of Nursing, a position she held until Cornell closed the school in 1979, when she became senior associate director of nursing services, New York Hospital. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s she managed a consulting business to spread advances in nursing education throughout the world. She taught in various capacities throughout the 1980s.
Lambertsen held positions and influence a wide variety of organizations, where she was intimately involved in the development of some of the most important advances in nursing. She served on the board of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and on the Surgeon General’s Consultant group that spearheaded the Nurse Training Act, a source of significant federal funding for nursing education. She also served on the advisory group that developed the 1971 report, Extending the Scope of Nursing Practice, which called for increased authority for nurse practitioners. From 1961 to 1982 she was on the World Health Organization’s expert advisory council on nursing. She was director of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York from 1963 to 1975 and chairwoman of the New York State Nurses Association Council of Research in Nursing from 1972 to 1976. In 1974 she became the first nurse on the board of Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, a position she held for 12 years. She served as vice chairman of the board from 1981 through 1986.
Lambertsen’s best known accomplishment was the development of team nursing, which began with her work with the Kellogg Foundation. The subject of her doctoral dissertation, Lambertsen published a book on the theory, Nursing Team Organization and Functioning, in 1957. The concept, which became synonymous with her name, was quickly accepted in hospitals around the world. Prior to team nursing, the nursing style practiced in most hospitals was known as functional nursing. In the functional nursing model, one nurse delivered medication, another gave baths and so on. Team nursing reversed the organization chart. Registered nurses became responsible for patient care and treatment goals. Daily meetings were held to review care plans and arrange duties for LPNs and aides in the unit. The team nursing plan has withstood the test of time and is still practiced in many hospitals today. As Lambertsen wrote in her dissertation, “The purpose of team nursing is to blend different kinds of nurses into the working unit whose core is the patient and his individual nursing needs.”
Lambertsen was the recipient of numerous awards and honors throughout her distinguished career. She received the R. Louise McManus Award from the Nursing Education Alumni Association at Teachers College; honorary recognition from the ANA and the New York State Nurses Association; membership in the Institute of Medicine; and honorary fellowship in AHA.
Lambertsen was married to Joseph Anderson, M.D., one time director of registration and approval for AHA. Eleanor Lambertsen died on March 30, 1998 at the age of 82 in Gladwyne, PA.
