Nursing School
The training of Nurses using the Chinese language was an important part of the work of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The Student Nurses contributed much to the care of patients. In 1964, the Nursing Schools of Tung Wah Hospital, Tung Wah Eastern Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital were centralized at Kwong Wah Hospital. With the expansion of Kwong Wah Hospital, the number of students increased significantly. There were three classes per year, with as many as 70 students in a class. The centralized School was headed by Sister Tutor-in-Charge Rebecca Chan Chung 鍾陳可慰 from 1964 to 1975. Rebecca Chan Chung was a U.S. Army nurse in China during World War II and authored the book "Piloted to Serve".

Famous quotes containing the words nursing and/or school:
“There is a certain amount of purpose, acquiescence, and satisfaction in nursing one’s melancholy.”

“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
