The School was an integral part of an institution founded to give medical attendance and pastoral support to Protestants in reduced circumstances. For 150 years, the Adelaide-trained nurses have provided nursing service to the people of Ireland, and the Adelaide School developed a national reputation as a place of training for nurses who excelled in their standards of nursing. The Adelaide's successful development as a modern teaching hospital was in great part attributable to the `assiduous and intelligent' nursing care given by its nurses in their distinctive uniform of blue cotton with white hail spot.\n\nThis book tells the story of the Adelaide School. Written by Gerard Fealy, a nursing historian, the book is based on detailed research in the archives of the Adelaide Hospital and on oral and written testimonies generously given by former Adelaide nurses. In telling the story of the Adelaide School, the book also tells the story of `the dear old Adelaide' which, after its closure in 1998, became a part of the new Tallaght Hospital. The book offers glimpses into the lives of Adelaide nurses and of some famous Adelaide staff who gave service to the hospital down through 150 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856076555\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Volume and dust jacket in near new condition.
