Linda Richards (27 July 1841 – 16 April 1930) was the first professionally trained American nurse. She established nursing training programs in the United States and Japan, and created the first system for keeping individual medical records for hospitalized patients. <\/p>\n

Linda describes her nursing training: \u201cWe rose at 5.30 a.m. and left the wards at 9 p.m. to go to our beds, which were in little rooms between the wards. Each nurse took care of her ward of six patients both day and night. Many a time I got up nine times in the night; often I did not get to sleep before the next call came. We had no evenings out, and no hours for study or recreation. Every second week we were off duty one afternoon from two to five o’clock. No monthly allowance was given for three months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards was named to the National Women\u2019s Hall of Fame in 1994.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":76066,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-75777","tnc_col_75018_item","type-tnc_col_75018_item","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nHistorical Dolls: Linda Richards (1841-1930) - VGH SON - Archive & Museum Collections<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vghnursingschoolalumnae.com\/wp2\/doll-collection\/historical-dolls-linda-richards-1841-1930\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Historical Dolls: Linda Richards (1841-1930) - VGH SON - Archive & Museum Collections\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Linda Richards (27 July 1841 – 16 April 1930) was the first professionally trained American nurse.
