It was always gratifying to see some of these kids in fact, one who later became an instructor of nursing didnt even know how to hold a cloth to damp dust the unit and her mother came up every night to put her hair up for her. Then to see her become an accomplished nurse was very gratifying. The kids were always really eager to learn, and that makes it fun.-Jeane Barker Morton, Instructor of Nursing (1947-1958) |
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. |
