Title: Nursing Database
Post by: jeffery1_6 on Monday 01 May 17 14:38 BST (UK)

Just wondering if anyone can advise if there is a database of nurses for the late 1800's early 1900's please?
Many thanks

There was no central register of civilian nurses before 1921. Before 1919, when the General Nursing Council was established, records of nurses were kept by individual nurse training schools, most of which were attached to major hospitals, where the records can often still be found.
