responsibility as Superintendent of the Lady Stanley Institute for Trained Nurses. Two others graduated nurses were employed to assist the superintendent nurse in taking charge of the hospital work. A third nurse was temporarily employed for the same reason. However, the board expected that in a few months only one nurse will suffice. It was expected that the nurse in training will have received enough experience to find among them one able to take the position of head nurse. This will make a considerable saving on the expenses. Currently, the institute had eight nurses and two probationers. It was expecting to increase to twelve to fifteen nurses in training. On June 1, 1891, an agreement was reached between the directors of the Protestant General Hospital and the directors of the Lady Stanley Institute for the hospital to take charge of and conducting the nursing therein, and incidental thereto, for the admission of the pupil nurses of the Institute to the Wards of that Institution. Furthermore, the nurses have attended outside patients and they have done district work of a charitable character as part of their training. The Lady Stanley Institute for Trained Nurses was opened in July 1891. The directors were expecting to receive a source of revenue for the services of the nurses sent to outside patients in private homes. This would help counterbalance the expenditures met in administrating the Institute. It was hoped the Institute would, within the next year (1892), been able to increase considerably its revenue while its expenditures would be greatly reduced. The board also arranged to deliver many courses during the winter. These courses were lectures given by members of the medical profession. These lectures were free of charge for the nurses in training. They also were benefiting to all women who chose to attend after subscribing to it. The school merged into Ottawa Civic Hospital School of Nursing (1924-1974) in 1924. After 1974 nursing training was transferred to post secondary institutions like Algonquin College Vanier School of Nursing.
