Provenance
Owned by Hannah McQueen, donated by her daughter Kathryn Wirsig.
Hannah McQueen, Class of 1928 Kingston General Hospital School of Nursing worked at the Kingston General Hospital; her daughter Kathryn Wirsig was also a nurse at the Kingston General Hospital.
The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario, by 1935, was instrumental in developing standards for nursing education and practice. The association protected the title “registered nurse” by making it mandatory to be registered.
Nurses had to graduate from nursing school and subsequently be examined again in order to become registered nurses in Ontario.
