I got into nurses training through Sister Berno. I got a scholarship from the Utah State Nurses Association. It was Sister Berno who recommended me for that. Ill forever be grateful to her for that. I was just in awe of the nuns and the student nurses and their uniforms. My training at St. Benedicts was invaluable. I received the best training there could have ever been.-Joan Garver Thornton, Class of 1956 |
| 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. |
