Esther Tinsley had the distinction of being the first woman hospital administrator in the country in 1910, even before women could vote. She started the Nesbitt Hospital in Kingston. Two years later she began the Pittston Hospital as well as the School of Nursing in Pittston PA.
Miss Tinsley had a 61 year tenure and her nurses were sought after all over the state of PA. We were proud to be Pittston Hospital nurses, her nurses said.
Sorry, this DVD is SOLD OUT.
