| dc.description | A series of wooden honour boards displaying the names of nurses at Warrnambool Base Hospital who received awards and distinctions during annual nurses’ graduation ceremonies. These boards record academic and practical excellence across multiple decades, recognising achievements in nursing training, theory, and practice. The inscriptions include award titles such as “Honor in Exercendo,” “In Discendo,” “In Agendo,” and “Nursing Aide Honours,” alongside annual lists of Gold Medallists, Year I–III award recipients, and Nursing Aide distinctions from the 1940s through the early 1990s. The craftsmanship features hand-carved timber with gold-lettered names, representing a long-standing hospital tradition of honouring excellence in nursing education and practice. | en |
