UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA HOSPITAL
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
This School was established in 1901, and its first class was graduated
in June, 1903. Its aim is to give young women, desirous of acquiring
the art of nursing, the same care and thorough training in
their calling which is now afforded young men studying the science of
medicine. Instruction in the primary branches of medicine is given
to pupil nurses by the professors in the Medical Department of the
University of Virginia, while the clinical instructors at the University
Hospital give lectures upon their respective courses. Three years is
the required time for graduation, and all candidates must enter prepared
to go through the full course of instruction and hospital training.
Candidates for the school should apply in their own handwriting
to the Superintendent of Nurses, University Hospital, University, Va.
These applications must be accompanied by certificates of good character,
good health, and sufficient education to profit by the instruction
offered. No candidate under twenty-one years of age, or over thirty-five,
will be received.
