Title: WORKING PROFESSIONALISM: NURSING IN WESTERN CANADA, 1958-1977
Abstract: Changes in women’s relationship to caring labour, and changes in societal attitudes towards women as nurses during the period when they became union members and aspiring professionals, are revealed in thirty-seven oral history interviews with women who became nurses between 1958, a pivotal time in the development of the publicly funded health care system, and 1977, when the last residential school of nursing closed in Calgary. This study challenges the historiography that suggests that programs of nursing in the 1960s and early 1970s were sites of unusual social regulation, and that nursing was a career choice that women made because of a lack of other more challenging or rewarding alternatives. 
This study also challenges assumptions that women in nursing were unaffected by the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s and instead passively accepted a position of gendered subservience at home and in the workplace. Instead, I argue that nurses skilfully balanced work and other social responsibilities, primarily domestic caregiving, and also were active in unionization and professionalization in advance of other Canadian women workers. The ability of nurses to maintain a prominent position in health care, to advocate for the conditions needed to provide the best nursing care possible, while also fighting for improved working conditions and higher professional status is an impressive story of how women in these decades used gender, and class, as tools to enact social change.

Title: Regulating Women and Students (#2 submission)

"You were pretty well controlled, and they really could get rid of you if they wanted to without much recourse [at the nursing school residence]. You didn’t fight that sort of thing in those days. 
Gail, graduate of Vancouver General Hospital School of Nursing, 1972 "


The Director of Nurses and the School Committee ruled the residence and could “at any time terminate the connection of the student with the School for any of the following reasons: inefficiency, failure in examinations, physical or mental unfitness, conduct detrimental to the standards of the School, or failure to demonstrate qualification necessary for a career in nursing.” 

In 1974, the parents of prospective students at the Holy Cross School of Nursing in Calgary received letters of provisional acceptance, which told them that although their daughter had met entrance requirements, “a few words of explanation regarding some of our policies will be of interest and help to you [the parent].” These “few words” let parents know that there was a 30 to 40 per cent attrition rate for students in the first year of the program. There were many reasons for this, but a significant one. had to do with a student’s conformity or resistance to the shifting but constantly enforced “rules” of moral regulation that shaped, directed and controlled all aspects of a student’s life.
