P.E.I. Hospital Graduating Class, 1940
 
Nursing training at the P.E.I. Hospital began in 1891 with the establishment of the P.E.I. Hospital School of Nursing. Applicants were required to be between the ages of 21 and 35, needed to have a good common school education and were required to present a certificate of good moral character and health. Craswell's composite of this 1940 graduating class includes an image of the third P.E.I. Hospital building which opened on Brighton Road in 1933. In 1971, the P.E.I. Hospital School of Nursing graduated its last class of nurses. The nursing schools of the P.E.I. Hospital, the Charlottetown Hospital and Prince County Hospital amalgamated to form the P.E.I. School of Nursing in 1969.
