Nineteenth-Century Nurses and Midwives in Three Canadian Cities, 1861-1891
|
| Abstract |
The author focuses on nurses and midwives in Montreal, Halifax, and Saint John in the decades leading up to the introduction of trained nurses. Self-employed (private) nurses are compared with those in hospitals. Overwhelmingly working-class women, and frequently widows, the nurses were not formally trained, though some midwives were. In 1861, most Montreal nurses listed were Anglophones, and predominately Irish but, by 1891, French Canadians represented about one third of the number though the author believes that they were likely underreported.
