We are saddened to hear of the passing of Ingeborg Von Maydell,who has been a long time member of BCHNS.
Inge, as we knew her, held the BCHNS Secretary position for many years to 2007, faithfully writing by hand & then mailing out to the membership. When the computer age & email arrived, Inge did not have a computer, so graciously handed over the Secretary position to someone with those skills.
100 people received the Dean’s Medal of Distinction created to honour the University of British Columbia and the Faculty of Applied Science’s 100th anniversary.
BCHNS member, Lydia Wytenbroek wrote an article in Honor of Nurses Week- “The Stethoscope: A Tool of Nurses’ Trade since the 1930’s” that got published today May 12th, as a lead article on the Blog “Echoes & Evidence” at The Bates Center for The Study of The History of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.
