Lead Section

Mary Adelaide Nutting (November 1, 1858 - October 3, 1948) was an American educator, administrator, and author in the field of Nursing. She was born in Quebec, Canada to Vespaisan and Harriet Sophia Resley. When Nutting was a young girl, her family moved to Maryland, where she would live, work, and attend school for seventeen years. In 1889 she became part of the first ever class at the Johns Hopkins school of nursing. She would later graduate in 1891, and stay on to work at the university. She eventually became head nurse, assistant superintendent nurse, and finally principal of the training school for nurses at Johns Hopkins. As president of the nursing school, Nutting made many serious contributions towards the ideology of nursing education, specifically advocating for university education for nurses. She also published many works on nursing and nursing education, including Sound Economic Basis for Nursing and the first two volumes of History for Nursing. Apart from literature contributions, Nutting was apart of various nursing organizations, such as the State Association of Graduate Nurses. After spending many years at Hopkins, Nutting left to take the chairmanship of the Nursing Education Department at Teachers College, Columbia University (this made her the first nurse appointed to university professorship). Nutting remained in New York after her retirement, and received many awards and accolades for her nursing contributions. On October 3, 1948, Nutting died in White Plains, NY at the age of 89 (she had been suffering from a long illness). Since her death Nutting has not been forgotten, as she was inducted into the American Nurses Hall of Fame, and the Maryland Women's Hall of Fame.

Early Life/Family

Nutting was born to caring parents in Quebec, Canada. She was a quick-witted, determined young girl, even deciding as a child, that she would never marry.

It was in Baltimore that she was exposed to the ever famous Johns Hopkins University/Hospital.

Education

She even went on to teach music at the Cathedral School for Girls in St. John's Newfoundland. Upon her relocation to Baltimore, MD, Nutting decided to take a new path in life, and enroll in nursing school. She was one of seventeen females, who made up the inaugural class of the Johns Hopkins Training School for Nursing.

Upon graduation, she decided to stay on at Johns Hopkins, slowly climbing the ranks of nursing.
