[The first nursing school of Guangxi in modern times]

In 1903, the Sida Anniversary Hospital was established in Wuzhou, Guangxi, by the American Baptist Convention. In 1909, the head nurse Leonora Swrlett was sent to Wuzhou from USA to take charge of nursing work. Considering the lack of nursing staff, Leonora Swrlett established the Primary Vocational School of Nursing Affiliated to Guangxi Sida Hospital. As the beginning of women's medical education, the establishment of the Primary Vocational School of Nursing enriched the variety of education, and introduced advanced education modes and systems, which were of great value for establishing nursing schools and had huge influence on modernization of women's education in Guangxi.
