Submitted family history from Desiree Rhymer

My great great grandmother and my great Aunt went to school at Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing, and also worked at Lincoln Hospital, located in Durham, NC in 1913. She was a nursing student under Dr. Vernon and his wife.

My 2xs great grand name is Lucinda Wilson, standing on top row to the right with 3 other women between the columns. She is the third from the right. Her daughter, Senie Wilson, is sitting with the S on her amongst the nursing students in my photo. (image with this post)

Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing
The Board of Trustees organized the Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing in 1903. The program was approved by the Board of Nurse Examiners of the State of North Carolina.[34][35] Julia Latta was the first director of nursing from 1903 to 1910.[35]

The curriculum design included courses to be taken at North Carolina College in Durham, N.C, and formal affiliation with the college was established in 1930.[36][37]

The specialty areas of Pediatrics and Psychiatry were taught through affiliations with other hospitals including Meharry Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee and Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro, N.C.

After the first year of training, nursing students worked alongside nursing graduate students to take care of patients, supplying essential, inexpensive, primary care. The Nursing School provided greater job and educational opportunities for young Black women in Durham.[38]

The hospital maintained accreditation with the NC Board of Nurse Examiners until loss of patients compromised the school's clinical program in the 1960s.
