Janice Hassell taught medical terminology. She gave something like a hundred words at a time. One time there were so many who made so many errors, that she made those who had made errors write a sentence ten times using the word, to hand in the next day. I didnt have any that I had to write. That made me not so popular that way. -Hope Shipley Welch, Class of 1963 |
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. |
