We went on affiliations to Denver and Hastings, Nebraska and had wonderful adventures there. Hastings was particularly interesting. It was a large mental hospital outside of town that was the size of the town. It had its own railroad stop. The guy who took care of the railroad stop had been put there for murdering his wife. One of my favorite things was that they would send a couple of us student nurses on Monday morning to meet the police from Lincoln who would bring a whole truck load in of people whod been arrested-mostly for drunken behavior and they were coming in for alcoholism. Maybe one or two student nurses would be escorting all of these people whod just been arrested to whatever wards they needed to go to. -Lou Ann Stoker Dickson, Class of 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. |
