Photo Credit: Nan Martin BCHNS Antique Silver Nursing Sisters Belt: Late Victorian or early Edwardian steel-cut silver. Acquired by Edith Hatfield [1905-1984] as a gift from relatives in Britain; they liked to browse antique stores and sent it to her as the “nurse” in the family. Edith graduated from both UBC and VGH in 1929 and embraced the new field of provincial public health and school nursing.

Welcome to the BC History of Nursing Society Website

Our mission is to discover, disseminate, and preserve BC's nursing history. In 1989 interested registered nurses banded together and formed the B.C. History of Nursing Professional Practice Group under the umbrella of the Registered Nurses Association of BC. In 2008 the organization became registered under the Society Act of BC and is now known as the B.C. History of Nursing Society (BCHNS).
