Research Facts
Dorothy Tweddell was a graduate of Kingston General Hosptial School of Nursing in 1936; the Golden Jubilee was held June 6th, 1935 at Grant Hall in Kingston.
The first official graduating class of the Kingston General Hospital School of Nursing was in 1888; the school was created in order to educate nurses as the demand for them increased, as well as providing a labour force to the hospital. When the first nurses graduated, they were given a certificate of completion, twenty five dollars, and a nursing medal. Over the years, nurses were sometimes given pins and/or rings or other memorabilia to commemorate their graduation from the school.
