FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE "I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling, with loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care."
2. HAMILTON GENERAL HOSPITAL Wikipedia says: The Hamilton General Hospital (HGH) is a major teaching hospital in Downtown Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, located at the intersection of Barton Street East and Victoria Avenue North. It is operated by Hamilton Health Sciences and is formally affiliated with the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University. HGH is Canada's largest hospital by bed count.
3. Training School for Nurses Here's what I found in https://mhc.andornot.com/en/permalink/artifact15407 The Hamilton General Hospital training school for nurses was an apprenticeship style program that began in 1890; the program was initially two years, but was expanded to a three-year program led by the head nurse and physicians; it involved formal instruction and on the job training; the Hamilton General Hospital School of Nursing discontinued in 1973 when Mohawk College took over the program.
4. NATIONAL ANTHEM In 1922, this would have been God Save the King, not Oh Canada.
5. KATHLEEN MAE HOSKING I asked AG about Kathleen Hosking. She didn't remember this Kathleen, but mentioned that there was family in New Brunswick, so maybe Kathleen Hosking went there.
