Where We Go A-Nursing p TI-IE STORY OF REX In 1839 John Rex, a native of Pennsylvania and one of the earliest settlers of Raleigh, be- queathed his property for the establishment of a hospital for the sick and afiiicted poor of the City of Raleigh. Dating from 1839, Rex Hospital is the oldest incorporated hospital in North Carolina, and the first to have a School of Nursing. On August 4, 1893, the trustees bought the old Manly mansion. The building was repaired, and an annex of two stories for colored patients was erected. The work was organized and the hospital opened for patients May 1, 1894. The Raleigh Academy of Medicine agreed to give their service to charity in rotation. In 1896, an eight-room annex was built for paying patients. A cornerstone for a new building on the adjoining lot was laid at a massive ceremony in 1908. The hospital continued to grow and on May 31, 1937, patients and equipment were moved into another new building on St. Mary's Street. It is now a two-hundred bed hospital that qualifies under the standards of the American College of Surgeons as an accredited hospital. is recognized by the American Medical Association for the training of internes, and by the Standardizatiion Board of the North Carolina Nurses Association for the conduction of an A-Grade School of Nursing.
