Over time, affiliated hospitals changed as some de-registered and others joined. Founding staff, Miss Nancy Long and Miss Margot Scott ...The Northern District School of Nursing in Victoria, Australia Graduates Association: Historical overview of the Northern District School of Nursing: After World War Two, Australian hospitals, especially in rural areas, faced a severe shortage of nurses due to low interest and challenging working conditions. Nurses endured strict discipline, poor wages, long hours, and restrictive living arrangements. The Hospital & Charities Commission appointed Miss Gwen Williams as the first Executive Officer of Nursing Services, who played a pivotal role in founding the regional training school at 'Lister House' in Bendigo in March 1950. Bendigo was selected for a pilot scheme to improve the correlation between theoretical and practical nurse training. The school staff worked to standardize training across regional hospitals and ensure students gained practical experience after theoretical instruction. A circular training scheme was introduced, allowing students from smaller hospitals to rotate through base hospitals for broader experience. Over time, affiliated hospitals changed as some de-registered and others joined. Founding staff, Miss Nancy Long and Miss Margot Scott, set high educational and professional standards, acting as educators, supervisors, and mentors.Training combined theory with hands-on practice, including procedures, instrument handling, and patient care. In 1973, the school began admitting students not attached to any specific hospital, allocating them to wards after study blocks to better align practice with theory. The Victorian Nursing Council later required the school to control clinical rotations. Male students were finally admitted to general nurse training in the 1960s after several failed attempts.Nurses' Week, started in 1952 by Miss Williams, aimed to promote nursing careers and community awareness. The school was instrumental in raising nursing education standards in the region for nearly forty years. Staff Nurses received additional training in administration after their basic three-year course. There were aspirations for postgraduate opportunities in rural areas, but country students continued to face challenges compared to their metropolitan counterparts.Northern District School of Nursing Graduates Association - Background Information on the School - 2 typed sheets This item contains the following document: 3792.7a Background Information on the School - 2 typed sheetsnurse training, lister house, history
