Sister Boniface was the dietician and she ruled the hospital kitchen with an iron hand. She also taught nutrition and we had to spend a month with her in the diet kitchen. We were terrified of her and dreaded the diet kitchen rotation. She was tall and thin, had a high squeaking voice and wore thick glasses. When she looked at you her eyes looked huge. We always knew which student was assigned to the diet kitchen because they had the "deer in the headlights" look all the time and the student could be seen running up the stairs carrying meal trays. Special diets often had to be delivered to the patients by the student and the student was not allowed to take the elevator.-Josephine Ulibarri Hibbeln, 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. |
