Our history

Night rounds, 1899

"I remember the kerosene lanterns which we took with us each night when going on duty from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. There was a gas light over each bed. The gas lights were put out at 9 each evening, after which time the lanterns were used by nurses in making their rounds."

Remembrance of Mrs. Albert G. Lobb (nee Miss Elizabeth Alice Bolton), Connecticut Training School for Nurses, Class of 1903
