Title

Bernice Redmon Registered Nurse Document

Description

Bernice Redmon, the first Black Registered Nurse in Canada, passes the Nurses Examiners Board of Virginia, and becomes a Registered Nurse in November 1944. She studied at the St. Phillip's Hospital, because Canadian schools did not accept Black women into their programs. This is a great document for comparative analysis of the experience of Black nurses in Canada and the US.
