For Service to Humanity: Nursing Education at Kingston General Hospital
Until December 31, 2014
For more than a century, Canadians have relied on hospitals to provide the facilities, equipment, and personnel central to scientific medical care. At one time hospitals also played a central role in the training of new nurses.
From 1886 until 1974, the Kingston General Hospital School of Nursing was typical of the once numerous hospital-based training schools located across Canada.
Through hard work and rigid discipline, apprentice nurses developed knowledge and skills and intense loyalties to hospital, patient care, and fellow students.
