Never Forget the Nurses Who Served

Never Forget the Nurses Who Served with Gloria Stephens

There are stories about the heroism and determination of our nurses who served in World war I and World War II.

Please join us to learn and remember, with guest speaker Gloria Stephens. As an Operating Room Nurse and Team Leader, Gloria has practiced in Halifax, Bermuda, and BC, in neurosurgery, orthopedics, plastic surgery, and notably as a member of the Open-Heart Research surgical team in BC, receiving recognition for her role in this pioneer procedure. She has also  prepared many manuals and resources for OR nurses and the institutions that prepared them for their profession.

Professional OR Nurse, Educator, Author, Conference Organizer and International Speaker (Holland, England, Germany Austria, USA, Australia and Singapore), Gloria embodies all things essential for the critical work of training and supporting OR nurses, but also enabling the rest of us to understand their role and importance.

Her awards cannot be contained in a short list, but they are many, always connected with the advancement of her profession. As the 1994 YWCA Award for Education puts it, she is a “Woman of Distinction”.

We are the beneficiary of her personal and passionate interest in researching, documenting, and sharing the stories of the pioneer nurses who served and sacrificed in both World Wars.  We are so grateful that she is giving us her time on to present to us so much to see, hear and learn.
