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, Charlottesville, 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.
Pupil Nurses: Misses Elizabeth Baker, Caroline Bragg, Evelyn
Mackreth, Georgia Nottingham, Caroline Watson, Myrtle Smith, Willie
Morrow, Fannie Fry. There are seven probationers in the Fall Class.
