The History Of St Lukes Hospital School Of Nursing Chicago PDF Download

Excerpt from The History of the School of Nursing of Presbyterian Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, 1903-1956 In November, 1902, the Illinois Training School for Nurses notified the Board of Managers of Presbyterian Hospital that in accordance with provi sions in the contract for supplying nurses, they would discontinue service November 1, 1903. The service was discontinued for two reasons: first, the enlargement of both hospitals (presbyterian and Cook County); and second, the greater amount of work imposed on nurses by daily increasing demands of the medical staffs. During the period of transition caused by the termina tion of the contract, the Illinois Training School gradually withdrew its nurses from the Hospital. The School of Nursing of Presbyterian Hospital, Chicago, Illinois was established in 1903. It was in continuous operation until it went out of exist ence as such due to the merger of Presbyterian Hospital and St. Luke's Hos pital and the establishment of a new school in 1956.
