Fifty-Eight Archer Memorial Hospital 5L QM WJJ One of the most interesting and popular events of graduation time is the awarding of the Gold Medal for General Proficiency in nursing. Each year at the exercises this splendid event is awaited with much excitement and breathless expectancy. The Gold Medal is awarded to the nurse who has shown the most outstanding and unusual ability in her nursing during her three years. The custom of giving this medal was started in 1927 during the regime of Miss Helen Rice, a beloved Superintendent of Nurses from 1924- 1930. She died in 1942.
