Biography
Myrtle Elizabeth
Kitchell, nursing leader and innovator, was born in Van Meter, Iowa, on May 31,
1917. Graduating high school at the age
of sixteen, she took a year off and then entered a five-year baccalaureate nursing
program at the University of Minnesota.
She received her B.A. in nursing education in 1939.
After
obtaining her degree, Kitchell worked as Head Nurse at the Charles T. Miller
Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, from 1939 to 1941. From 1941 to 1942 Kitchell was a surgical teaching supervisor at
St. Mary's Hospital School of Nursing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kitchell entered the Army Nurse Corps as an
assistant chief nurse, a captain, at the 26th General Hospital in North Africa
from 1942 to 1945, and, in 1945, she was chief nurse at the 52nd Station
Hospital in Italy. After the war,
Kitchell returned to the University of Minnesota to work on a master's degree
in education and to serve as an instructor at the School of Nursing. She received her degree in 1948.
From
1949 to 1957, Kitchell was the Director and Dean of the State University of
Iowa (now the University of Iowa) College of Nursing. She received her Ph.D. in Educational Administration and
Educational Psychology in 1955 from the University of Minnesota. In 1956, Myrtle Kitchell married William O.
Aydelotte, then the Chairman of the History Department at the State University
of Iowa. They had two children, Marie
in 1957, and Jeanette in 1959.
Aydelotte
was a professor at the University of Iowa College of Nursing from 1957 to
1962; from 1963 to 1964, she was the
associate chief nurse and chief nurse of nursing research at the Veterans
Administration Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa.
Aydelotte resumed her professorship at the University of Iowa College of
Nursing from 1964 to 1976; from 1968 to
1976 she was the director of nursing for the University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics. She retired from the
University of Iowa in 1976.
After
1976, Aydelotte held positions in the American Nurses Association and the
Center for Nursing Innovations. She
also held visiting professorships at the University of Illinois College of
Nursing and at Yale University.
Aydelotte wrote and published prolifically. She is considered a national authority on societal change and its
effect on health care delivery.
Aydelotte
has been a member of the National League for Nursing; the American Nurses
Association; Sigma Theta Tau, the international honorary for nursing; as well
as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. She has also been involved with the Iowa Citizens’ League for
Nursing, the Iowa Hospital Association, and the Iowa Nurses Association.
Scope and Content Note
The Myrtle K. Aydelotte papers date from
1934 to 1994 and measure 20 linear feet. The papers
are arranged in eight series: Personal, Advising and consulting,
Conferences, Employment, Professional associations, Professional
correspondence, Research, and Photographs.
The
Personal series (1934-1990 and undated)
contains some biographical information, but the bulk of the series is comprised
of course notes Aydelotte made while a student at the University of Minnesota
School of Nursing; some may be notes
from the courses she taught while at the University of Minnesota. Many of the honors and awards she received
are also included here.
The
Advising and consulting series
(1950-1990 and undated) consists of correspondence and Aydelotte's notes
resulting from her many consulting positions.
This series documents Aydelotte's independent consulting visits as well
as the advisory and editorial boards on which she served.
The
Conferences series (1949-1992 and
undated) mainly consists of papers Aydelotte gave at conferences, workshops,
and seminars during her career. The
correspondence related to the events is also included.
The
Employment series (1945 -1990 and
undated) is divided into four main subseries:
Army, State University of Iowa College of Nursing, University of Iowa
Hospitals and Clinics, and Veteran's Administration. These subseries contain Aydelotte's administrative papers,
committee materials, and other materials which relate to her four main places
of employment.
The
Professional associations series
(1950-1994 and undated) includes the records pertaining to her involvement in
professional organizations. The three
most prominently represented here are the American Nurses Association, the
National League for Nursing, and Sigma Theta Tau.
The
Professional correspondence series
(1957-1994 and undated) includes all the correspondence that Aydelotte
specifically labeled as professional.
Additional correspondence can be found throughout the collection.
The
Research series (1951-1990 and
undated) contains papers Aydelotte
wrote for publication and her notes and drafts from her large research
studies. Correspondence with
publishers, editors, and co-authors is interfiled with the publications in this
series.
The
Photographs series (1976-1990 and
undated) contains photographs of Aydelotte with other nurses and one undated
portrait. Several of the photographs
are of early graduating classes of the University of Iowa College of Nursing.
