  • Fonds
  • 1953-1987

Two of Laura Attrux's best friends in Slave Lake, Alberta, Helen Getzinger and Stella Boisvert, were interviewed on November 6, 1993 by Moira Bazin.

When the nursing service was disbanded the residual funds were used to establish the Laura Attrux Scholarship for local students. The audiotaped interview records the memories of two women who assisted Miss Attrux in her nursing duties and became her closest friends during her years in northern Alberta. Their recollections cover the activities of the community and their families, in both of which Miss Attrux was closely involved. Their stories reveal the dedication and professionalism of a remarkable nurse, for whom they had both admiration and great affection.

Marguerite Schumacher fonds

  • 1965-1990

In 1995, Marguerite Schumacher and Glenna Gorrill recorded their discussion of the establishment of the diploma course in nursing at Red Deer College in 1968. They describe the pattern of education they wanted for the student nurses, the need to win the support of the College, the Hospital staff, and the community for a program based in a college, not in a hospital. The students would have a broad base of correlated academic subjects from several departments, and would serve their practicum periods in hospitals, doctors' offices, community agencies and nursing homes. They would each be assigned to a family from the community, and keep a journal on the health progress of the family members. The program included research, initiated by outside consultants and academics as well as by the Nursing School staff. Continuing education, also offered to community nurses, included night classes, guest lecturers from throughout the province, and academic work coordinated with the universities that would lead to the BScN degree. The taped dialogue runs 60 minutes. Textual material deposited with the audiotape includes articles and reports by Marguerite Schumacher, 1970-1973, describing the program as it progressed.

Phyllis Robinson fonds

  • PAA aarn-2220
  • Fonds
  • 1951-1974

Lynne French interviewed Miss Robinson on January 28, 1994, for the oral history project of the AARN History of Nursing Professional Practice Group. Miss Robinson discusses her basic and advanced academic education in nursing. She spent most of her career in association with the Calgary General Hospital School of Nursing, and speaks of the problems in the administration of both the Hospital and the School in the early 1950s. These were resolved by new administrators, Dr. Lloyd Bradley and Miss Gertrude Hall and the position of the nursing students improved as a result of their changes. In 1959, changes in regulations at all three levels of government put severe limitations on the School's budget -- nurses were blamed for the high costs of medical service -- and once again the administration of the School and the Hospital was restructured. Miss Robinson speaks of Miss Hall's resignation as Director of Nursing and her encouragement for her instructors to go on to advanced degrees in their profession. She describes the closing of the CGH School of Nursing and her transfer to the University of Calgary.
