Hi, sw!

Do you know what nursing school your aunt went to? If so, why don’t you contact them about her notes? I’m sure they have archives on the methods/classes taught there since its beginning.

Otherwise,
*HUG*
*smooch*

HI, Face.

GREAT IDEA.

i know ABOUT when she went to school (1942-45, i think) & in which state, but not (for sure) which school (she went to RN training under the ANC's "Army Nurse Corps Training Program", as MANY girls did during WWII.)

i once heard her say, "things were much different during the war & the nursing schools "cooperated" then, rather than "competing".

ALSO, you might find this "interesting": my aunt said, "before the war, nurses were seen by MOST "nice people" to be not much more decent as a profession than prostitutes, as we took care of NEKKID (note: her word = chuckle.), sick & dying people. the war changed all that & we were suddenly said to be,"heroines". that seemed passing strange to me."

thanks & HUGS.
