Hurlston, Emily Julia

Miss Emily Julia Hurlston has passed away after much suffering sustained with great courage.

Miss Hurlston was trained at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London 1886-90, and was a member of its League, and spent most of her active life in Private Nursing as a member of the Registered Nurses' Society. She was a woman with the courage of her opinions and a warm supporter of the State Registration movement during the many years of struggle for State organisation of nursing education, and greatly rejoiced at its success in 1919.

The present generation of nurses owe gratitude to the pioneers of nursing reform, the results of whose disinterested struggles they now enjoy. As they pass to their rest, deep regret is felt by old friends for the loss of the old guard.
