Image Captions We couldnt leave during the week and we had study hour from seven-thirty to nine-thirty and from nine-thirty to ten-thirty we got ready for bed. At ten-thirty, a nun came with her flashlight and made sure everyone was in bed. I kid you not it was like jail and you didnt get up or you didnt study after ten-thirty because all lights were out.-Clara Mann Sorensen, Class of 1950
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.
