Research Facts
Mr. Weston has no family ties to this document but he did work with one of the graduates on the list; Jean Frances Guess left the nursing profession and worked as a Welfare Field Worker for the Government of Ontario; she passed away in her 90's; Ms. Guess was also a friend of one of Mr. Weston's family members, who graduated around the same time; he speculates that, that may have been the reason he had it.
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.
