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.
