    B.C. HISTORY OF NURSING SOCIETY NEWS volume 21 | issue 3 | October 2010 BY SHEILA portraitsin time RANKIN ZERR THE VANCOUVER GENERAL HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING HAS A LONG AND HONORED HISTORY. In 1899, the Vancouver City Hospital Training School for Nurses was opened. The Nursing School would be affiliated with the hospital for the next ninety- nine years. The first graduation exercises were held in 1902, in the same year the Vancouver City hospital was renamed Vancouver General Hospital (VGH). The uniforms worn by the students and graduates of the Training School changed over also in this issue time as influences such as fashions for women, social issues and financial factors came into play. PAGE 5 After ninety-nine years of operation, with 8,768 graduates, the VGH School of Nursing closed. The following portrait dolls represent the major changes from 1899 to 1998. PAGE 6 PAGE 10 s01. THE 1899 TO 1913 UNIFORM The hospital supplied the materials for the students to make their own uniforms – a blue ankle length dress of twilled cotton with five inch white linen cuffs over long sleeves and with a high, starched white linen collar called a bishops collar. The white apron was gathered and about two inches shorter than the dress. The bib with two straps across the back was required. The cap had a three inch cuff, gathered at the crown that puffed up behind. High laced black boots and a stiff laced corset completed the required uniform. 02. THE 1918 UNIFORM CAP AND CAPE CHANGES In 1914 the uniform was changed to keep pace with the fashion of the day and the student need for comfort.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
