ABOVE: January 24, 2020 | Members of the succession planning team of the BC History of Nursing Society (BCHNS) Geertje Boschma and Francis Mansbridge observe as Nan Martin and Krisztina Laszlo sign an agreement to transfer the BCHNS archives to UBC Library’s Rare Books and Collections

Nursing History is being made at this very moment in time!

The World Health Organization proclaimed 2020 the Year of the Nurse and Midwife. What a year to recognize nurses in this time of global pandemic! Did you know that the BC History of Nursing Society (BCHNS) has been recognizing nurses throughout British Columbia and Canada since the inception of BCHNS in 1990?

We would love to hear the stories of your past nursing career experiences or how the pandemic has affected your nursing practice. If you are still “out there” working to keep us all safe, we thank you!

Check us out! Contact us through our website bcnursinghistory.ca

A display at the School of Nursing from December of 2019.
