In 1995, Marguerite Schumacher and Glenna Gorrill recorded their discussion of the establishment of the diploma course in nursing at Red Deer College in 1968. They describe the pattern of education they wanted for the student nurses, the need to win the support of the College, the Hospital staff, and the community for a program based in a college, not in a hospital. The students would have a broad base of correlated academic subjects from several departments, and would serve their practicum periods in hospitals, doctors' offices, community agencies and nursing homes. They would each be assigned to a family from the community, and keep a journal on the health progress of the family members. The program included research, initiated by outside consultants and academics as well as by the Nursing School staff. Continuing education, also offered to community nurses, included night classes, guest lecturers from throughout the province, and academic work coordinated with the universities that would lead to the BScN degree. The taped dialogue runs 60 minutes. Textual material deposited with the audiotape includes articles and reports by Marguerite Schumacher, 1970-1973, describing the program as it progressed.

Mrs Winnie Shandro describes her career in public health nursing, not in chronological order, but in the order that her lively memory decided. She describes the professional relationships between doctors and nurses and the bad behaviour of some doctors towards nurses. One of their first tasks at the East Central Health Unit was to restore discipline to both professions and to improve relations between the public health service and the local hospital. Her main focus is on the health services she offered to the Indian Reserves and the Métis settlements and to Native patients in the Yukon and in northern Alberta. She had good relations with, and respect for, the military medical crews in the Yukon and CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. Mrs Shandro's career covered over 50 years of nursing service.
