St. Raphael's Hospital was then converted to a home for the elderly, known as St. Raphael's Rest Home; later it became a retirement center for the Sisters of St. Benedict. Then in 1999, it was purchased by a private organization to serve as a shelter for the poor and homeless called "Place of Hope" (Saint Benedict's Monastery Archives).

- Date Created:

- Description:
- This board begins the nursing school's history with a picture of St. Raphael's Hospital (operated 1900 - 1928) and names Hilma O. Johnson as the first director of nurses (1908 - 1909). It includes group pictures of the first graduates (1911) of St. Raphael's Training School for Nurses, as well as group pictures of students from the Class of 1912, the Classes of 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, and the Class of 1915. There are individual portraits of students from the Class of 1913 as well as individual portraits of women who served as directors of nurses during those years. The photographs are black-and-white or sepia prints mounted on eight cream colored paper boards, each with identifications hand lettered in black ink. These are mounted on a large, brown paper board. The first training school for nurses in St. Cloud, Minnesota, opened at St. Raphael's Hospital (predecessor to St. Cloud Hospital) in September 1908, one year after the state legislature mandated that all nurses working in Minnesota hospitals be licensed. As did the hospital, the education program operated under the auspices of the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota. From its inception until it closed in 1987, the school was conducted as a three-year diploma program that blended academic and practical training for the nursing profession. In 1964, the school began admitting male and married students. The large format photo composite boards were first created in 1958 by two graduates of the school, Lidwina Kray and Marian Town, as part of the St. Cloud Hospital School of Nursing Alumnae Association celebration of the school’s 50th anniversary. The boards were displayed in a book-like frame that allowed viewers to page through the history of the school’s students. Each year following, graduating classes added their portraits to the ‘book.’ There are 50 boards in all.
