Series consists of the permanent student academic record files created and maintained by the TGH School of Nursing. Records contained in individual files vary according to the date of creation. Most files will include the student history card, which contains grades by term as well as by subject; hours of practical work by department; dates and duration of absenteeism along with a list of cause or diagnosis and whether the time was made up; date of birth; home address; religion; place of birth; nationality of parents; instructors’ assessments; and dates of admission to the School and completion of courses. Information about vacations or illnesses was collected for the purpose of calculating the number of days absent and ensuring that the time was made up. Some student history cards include an attached picture. Files may also contain certificates of preliminary education (high school academic records); reports including records for hours of nursing care from affiliated Hospitals (e.g. The Hospital for Sick Children or the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital), schools of nursing, and/ or education programs which students attended to receive specialized training and experience; copies of medical records; and photographs. Some files also contain materials subsequently added, including letters from students or their agents requesting letters of reference for employment or information contained in their files, the actual letters of reference, applications for employment in the Nursing Department of the TGH and employment records, newspaper clippings and general correspondence.
