The rules were not to be broken, and you knew that. We had to be in by ten oclock through the week, eleven oclock on weekends. We had to sign out with where we were going, and I can understand now, in case anything happened, theyd want to know how to reach us. Then we signed in. When we were in, they had bed check at ten oclock. We all had to be in bed, and then wed get up and study after they left. Or study under the covers with a flashlight.-Betty Ori Nichols, Class of 1953 |
| 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. |
