Cheryl Entwistle wore the 1905 “Walking out” costume when the early RJH Nurse did community work.
Kathleen Murphy dressed the mannequin with our Florence Nightingale costume
Cheryl “was truly impressed with this group as they really are doing remarkable things in the community …. Things that really make a difference to the delivery of care!”
We are delighted to share the news that our long-time member, Dr. Geertje Boschma, has attained full Professorship in the UBC School of Nursing.
Geertje was honoured by her colleagues in a Special Lecture Series in the Faculty of Applied Science on April 21, 2015. A Celebration of Promotion was held to recognize five exceptional people for their promotion to the position of Professor in their chosen field.
Each newly created Professor presented a Paper about themselves and their research.
Geertje’s excellent Paper was entitled: Nursing and Health: Why History Matters.
Thanks to all the models who did an amazing act portraying the nurses uniforms through the ages and to Glennis Zilm who was the moderator of the show. Also a big thank you to Sheila Zerr who supplied the costumes and helped with the organizing, working with Amanda Sittrop, Curator of White Rock Museum Exhibits.
