Sister Estelle was wonderful. She was anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and organic chemistry, which I couldnt understand. I got a D, and I can still see her, sitting me on this high stool and saying, Sister Chanelle, you can do this. You go home and study your notes, and you will re-take this test. I went home, and I memorized my notes, and I took the test and I passed it, but I still didnt know anything about organic chemistry.-Sister Chanelle Schuler, Class of 1959 |
| 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. |
