Nurse Histories - Ongoing...
Our next history - Anthony (Tony) Sisson - special and still progressing. Hopefully it will be complete by December.
And yet two more new articles from Sarah Rogers. Both histories of QAIMNS nursing sisters and their badges - the first, Nursing Sister Lilian Ainsworth 1872 -1951; and the second Sister Florence Catherine Puddicombe 1867-1943.

Both are very nicely illustrated and well worth a read. As mentioned in the last news Sarah has commenced an external course at the University of Dundee. We hope that she will still be able to make her now regular and much valued contributions to SoN.
Ms Barbara Tyler -
St Thomas Hospital - Scrapbook Part 4.
The fourth part of the scrapbook collection of
Ms Barbara
Tyler - "Assistant Matron-in-Charge at St. Thomas' Hydestile (Godalming,
Surrey), when the hospital was moved out of London during the Blitz of
1941". We owe our thanks to - Gina O - who kindly gave us permission
to use her photographs.
And also to Keith Haikes, an American nurse
who is the current owner of the book and who has provided further
photographs.

The scrapbook photographs are presented
exactly as we received them - the icons above are linked to our own pages
in a pseudo-reproduction -
leaving a little room for us to perhaps eventually fill in the detail
that the nurse creating the original, Ms Tyler, did not need since the
scrapbook - and the memories it contains, was for her own use. As with
any scrapbook, some of the photographs may well be meaningful only to Ms
Tyler, but some are of recognizable, sometimes public figures. All are
part of Barbara Tyler's story and are of historic importance as the
scrapbook of a past Assistant Matron at St Thomas's Hospital. Especially
this one! A glimpse of history. A treasure... PART 4 is
here.
Email messages - Training Transcripts - Qualified Nurses.
In our experience it has
not been possible for nurses seeking transcripts from schools which no
longer exist to obtain copies. However, we can offer a couple of links
which may help in your search:-
Member Photograph Galleries.
Still accumulating, albeit now more slowly. The 'National'
galleries now contain 3205 nursing/hospital badge photographs encompassing
all areas of the UK; 520 photographs (buildings/people/ephemera); and
92
photographs of nurse uniforms, both civilian and military. Will we achieve 4000 by the end of 2013? Perhaps not, but we will have made
solid progress and perhaps achieve the largest collection in the UK by then
if not already....

We are already at 3827 - 4000 might just
be possible by the end of 2013. We are well on the way and just maybe, we
will see another magic number by the end of the year, thanks to our many contributors.
We can now claim to have a mini photographic museum here at schoolsofnursing. Sincere, heartfelt, thanks...
But the photographs are not our be all/end all. Our online articles (19) are
gaining too, to say nothing of our nursing histories and news pages. There is
a very large amount of research involved. Someone's time. Someone's money.
All given selflessly without thought of gain. What we have here are the
seeds of success.
But please, don't break copyrights when uploading/sending photographs. If you are ever uncertain please ask.
Most copyright holders we have met so far have been only to keen to assist.
