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 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.
