THE PROVIDENCE NURSING SCHOLARS DEBUTThe University’s remarkable partnership with Oregon’s Providence Health System formally opens August 25, when 100 Providence Scholars begin their nursing classes on The Bluff. The program, by which Providence pays for University nursing students’ nursing education in exchange for three years of postgraduate employment, is the largest such in the nation, and is the most recent of many mutual projects between Oregon’s Catholic university and Catholic health care system. Things have changed a tad since the days of the nursing class of 1929 (above), the members of which began their days with compulsory Mass, worked two nursing shifts, took two classes a day, and grappled with a ten p.m. curfew.
