Year of the Nurse and Midwife
The World Health Assembly has designated 2020 the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife.
The Ingram School of Nursing at McGill University has a century’s worth of stories of our strengths, as nurses, as nurse educators, as nursing students, as clinicians and as and researchers.
"It was thought a matter of wisdom and foresight to establish a Department this year at McGill for the training of Graduate Nurses for teaching, administration work, public and social Nursing."
(McGill University, 1920)
