Our capping ceremony was very solemn and beautiful. It was really the first thing that made me feel like a real person and a real nurse. We looked so pristine and pretty wearing that uniform and to know I was one of such an elite group of people in which the nuns instilled in us a sense of commitment and pride was a remarkable thing.-Ariel Neuber Sheppard Latham, Class of 1964 |
| Description |
The St. Benedicts School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over that forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State Colleges Practical Nurse Program and eventually merged into Webers Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedicts Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah State History. |
