Old School Textbook Carries Memories of Healthcare History

It was a trip down memory
lane for Yvette Martinez, who has been a nurse at Silver Hill Hospital for more than 20 years.
Someone had dug up a Lippincott nursing manual published in the mid-1970s from the hospital’s library. Yvette hadn’t seen
the manual in years, but she immediately recognized it and called Silver Hill’s Director of Nursing Sharon Kowalchuk, RN, DNP, to have a look.
Several photographs of Yvette, then a nurse in her twenties,
and her daughter accompanied an article on pediatric physicals. Her daughter was 8 years old at the time. She’s now 53.
Yvette and Sharon thumbed through the pages and recalled the days of learning through the old Lippincott nursing manuals. “It’s always fun to reminisce,” Yvette says. “I remember when they took those photos. My daughter was so young.”
Some great history and memories to relive.
