Happy Nurse's Day May 6th!




We did not hear much about Nurse's Day this year, don't think anyone wished me a happy one!
This picture is of Minnie Gould the first graduate of St. Luke's School of Nursing, graduating in 1891, back then it was an 18 month program. St. Luke's was the 2nd school of nursing to open in Minnesota. I graduated in 1974 and it was a 3 year program. St. Luke's closed it's School of Nursing in 1986 and it was the last 3 year diploma school to close in the state of Minnesota. A very sad day. I will never regret the time I spend in Nursing School and the memories I made will never end. What a great 3 years it was. Happy Nurse's Day my fellow nurses!
