Mary Agnes Snively

Mary Agnes Snively led the struggle for recognition of nursing as a legitimate science-based profession rather than a domestic pursuit. She founded the Canadian National Association of Trained Nurses in 1908 and served as its president during its formative years. The organization was the voice of registered nurses, with member societies in every province by 1924, when it became the Canadian Nurses Association. A respected teacher and administrator, Snively further advanced the profession by transforming the Toronto General Hospital School of Nursing into a model of education and patient care in Canada.

Mary Agnes Snively

Snively mène la lutte pour la reconnaissance du travail des infirmières comme véritable profession scientifique plutôt que simple occupation domestique. En 1908, elle fonde l’Association canadienne nationale des infirmières diplômées qu’elle préside à ses débuts. Comptant des sociétés membres partout au pays, cet organisme porte-parole devient l’Association des infirmières et infirmiers du Canada en 1924. Enseignante et administratrice respectée, Snively contribue à l’avancement de la profession en faisant de l’école des sciences infirmières du Toronto General Hospital un modèle pour l’enseignement et les soins aux patients au pays.
