Helen (Garfield) Sabin fonds

  • PAA aarn-2224
  • Fonds
  • 1933-1960, 1979, 1995

Ms Sabin met with Lynne French of the AARN to read a survey of her career in nursing which was prepared following an outline from the History of Nursing Professional Practice Group. She describes the daily routine and the training program of student nurses, 1933-1938, and the changes brought about by the Weir Report (1932) and the CNA curriculum study (1936). On graduation, Ms Sabin was employed by the Provincial Public Health Nursing Branch, serving in Alder Flats/Pendryl. She summarizes the history of the nursing service, which began in Alberta in 1918 with 8 graduate nurses. She describes the types of work carried out by the public health nurses and the programs they could initiate in the rural areas: maternity and child care, homecare, school health, First Aid and immunization (among many others). Ms. Sabin also comments on effects of the changes brought about by restructuring of health care in Alberta during the 1990s. She sees a complete break with the services and programs that were in effect during her career.

Marguerite Schumacher fonds

  • PAA aarn-2225
  • Fonds
  • 1965-1990

In 1995, Marguerite Schumacher and Glenna Gorrill recorded their discussion of the establishment of the diploma course in nursing at Red Deer College in 1968. They describe the pattern of education they wanted for the student nurses, the need to win the support of the College, the Hospital staff, and the community for a program based in a college, not in a hospital. The students would have a broad base of correlated academic subjects from several departments, and would serve their practicum periods in hospitals, doctors' offices, community agencies and nursing homes. They would each be assigned to a family from the community, and keep a journal on the health progress of the family members. The program included research, initiated by outside consultants and academics as well as by the Nursing School staff. Continuing education, also offered to community nurses, included night classes, guest lecturers from throughout the province, and academic work coordinated with the universities that would lead to the BScN degree. The taped dialogue runs 60 minutes. Textual material deposited with the audiotape includes articles and reports by Marguerite Schumacher, 1970-1973, describing the program as it progressed.
