The pages displayed below were scanned from the LMU Hospital Medical School’s yearbook, Neoplasm, published in 1913.  The nursing school section was entitled the “Accessory.”

Miss Orlena Ewing Painter, possibly an earlier graduate of LMU nursing school, was Directress of Nurses.

Only the 1913 graduates were identified individually.

John Brockman, a member of the class of 1913, became Tennessee’s first male Registered Nurse.  His biography will appear separately on this site, as research progresses.

Look for biographies of the graduates and students who completed in 1914 and 1915 on this site, as research progresses.

A list of names for each class, as published in the yearbook, appears below the gallery slideshow.
