Gladys in the grounds of Memorial hospital

Gladys wanted to continue her formal education in Prince Albert where she could train as a nurse. Here she is wearing her probationer's uniform on the grounds of Memorial Hospital, where she began her training in 1911. Gladys returned home only seven months after being enrolled, because she felt she was needed more on the Mission. She worked aside her mother in the Mission's hospital, where she undoubtedly learned some very valuable nursing skills.
