Book

About Lois Price Spratlen

  • As a leader of the Mary Mahoney Professional Nurses Organization, she pioneered endowment funding of financial aid and scholarships to students of African heritage whose studies lead to careers in professional nursing.

  • As a professor at the University of Washington’s School of Nursing, she led efforts to enhance diversity among faculty and students. She also served as University Ombudsman—the first woman, professional nurse, and African-American on the campus to occupy this role.

  • As a mentor and volunteer for the Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses, she helped members gain knowledge and move beyond the tradition of being educated by those from other professions.

  • As an author, she documented many racial challenges in our nursing community through her book, African American Registered Nurses in Seattle: The Struggle for Opportunity and Success.
