Trainee Nurses in NI

Unknown Artist

We take it for granted that our local universities educate, train and deliver nurses and midwives for our healthcare system. But when nursing was in its infancy, Florence Nightingale had a vision for what she wanted for nurses… “The primary object is to be the establishment of a normal school for nurses with a view to elevation of that class to the position of a profession”
