Explore the history of nursing education in Canada through Toronto’s Women’s College Hospital School of Nursing. The school opened the door for Canadian women in the 20th century to pursue a nursing career. Using oral recollections, writings, and photographs from the hospital’s archives, this exhibit tells the stories of nursing students over a sixty-year period — including the story of the school’s very first student in 1915! Follow in the footsteps of a student nurse: first day of school, first time on the wards, daily life in residence, and the making of friendships that last a lifetime!
