VPRS 16425 Mothercraft Nurses Training Register (prior to State registration)

The Mothercraft Nurses Act 1949 (No. 5413) was the earliest legislation relating to mothercraft nursing in Victoria. Prior to this the Maternal and Child Hygiene branch of the Department of Health (VA 695) issued certificates of competency for mothercraft nurses.This register appears to be a record of training undertaken by potential mothercraft nurses, dating prior to State registration. Entries continue until 1954, meaning there is a period of overlap (1951-1954) between this register and the Mothercraft Nurses Register (VPRS 16427) established under the Mothercraft Nurses Act 1949. This register records the date that training was completed and the Mothercraft Nurses Register records the date of registration (including registration number). It is possible to locate entries for individuals in both registers, the registration details usually following up to several months after the completion of training.Information is recorded in the register on alphabetical tabs in chronological order.Columns include:NameTraining InstitutionDate

《1949年助产护士法》（第5413号）是维多利亚州首部针对助产护理（mothercraft nursing）的立法。在此之前，维多利亚州卫生部下属的母婴卫生科（档案编号VA 695）曾为助产护士颁发执业资格证书。本登记册实为潜在助产护士的培训记录，其编制时间早于州级注册制度实施之时。登记条目延续至1954年，这意味着本登记册与依据《1949年助产护士法》设立的助产护士登记册（档案编号VPRS 16427）存在一段重叠时段（1951年至1954年）。本登记册记录培训完成日期，而助产护士登记册则记录注册日期（含注册编号）。部分人员的信息可同时在两份登记册中找到，其注册细节通常会在培训完成后的数月后方补登。本登记册按字母标签分类，并以时间顺序编排记录内容，登记栏包含以下项目：姓名、培训机构、日期。
