Testimonials

“We had a wonderful time shooting there; everyone was so polite and helpful, it's a stunning location, and I look forward to working with you all again in the future.”

- Dawn B, 2016

“David and I wanted to thank you for all your assistance with coordinating our wedding! The Isabella Room was beyond lovely....we were amazed! The day went by without a hitch, just what anyone would want. Thanks again for making our day lovely and memorable!”

- Sandy B, 2015

“We have rented space for our business function twice at this location and have had good experiences both times. Parking nearby is free after 6 pm which is perfect for our evening events... it is a unique venue good for cocktail receptions and small weddings, birthday parties, etc. Catering is available. Staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. Would not hesitate to use them again.”

- Lauren M, 2014

“Very stylish place. Very elegant dinning - The food was very tasty and hot. I was there for a retirement diner for a coworker. I would recommend to family and friends and look forward to going again.”

- 2015

“In December of 2014, we hosted our entire wedding (ceremony and reception) at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. The staff is extremely helpful. Cheryl-Ann, the event coordinator at the gallery, is amazing. The recommended caterer, Pilar's Catering, is both yummy and spectacular to work with. It was a nice opportunity for the guests to be able to explore the gallery during the reception and enjoy the beautiful art work. It was a fantastic location for pictures. Dancing the night away under the atrium ceiling is so much fun. If you are looking to host a one-of-a-kind wedding, or any event really, consider the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. You will not be disappointed!”

- Melody P, 2015

“We have rented space for our business function twice at this location and have had good experiences both times. Parking nearby is free after 6 pm which is perfect for our evening events. Even when not free its still reasonable and a couple of hours cost a couple of dollars. Easy access off the 401. Some visitors will need some extra direction (its right next to City Hall for those who have had to pay parking tickets there) as this location will be new to many Oshawa natives. Too bad because it is a unique venue good for cocktail receptions and small weddings, birthday parties, etc. Catering is available. Staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. Would not hesitate to use them again.”

- Lauren M, 2014

“Beautiful surroundings, my sister had her wedding photo's done here, excellent location, gardens, and architecture.”

- Marina D, 2013

“We held our wedding here and Cheryl-Ann was soo easy to work with and their preferred caterer Pilar is absolutely amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better place!!!! And the art is nice too!”

- Sarah J, 2013

What is a Student Nurse?

Student nurses are to be found everywhere, underneath, on top of, running around, jumping over or slithering past patients’ beds. Doctors overlook them, mothers worry about them and patients love them.

A student nurse is courage under a cap, a smile in snowy white, strength in starched skirts, energy that is endless, the best of young womanhood, a modern Florence Nightingale. Just when she is gaining poise and prestige, she drops a glass, breaks a syringe or steps on a doctor’s foot.

A student nurse is a composite. She eats like a team of hungry interns and works like the whole nursing staff put together. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat and the endurance of a flagpole sitter. To the head nurse she has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule and is held together by starch, adhesive tape and strained nerves. To an alumnus, she will never work as hard, carry more trays, make more beds or scrub on more cases than her predecessors.

A student nurse likes days off, boys her own age, the O.R., affiliations, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her roommate and Mom and Dad. She is not much on working 3-11, days off with classes, alarm clocks, getting up for roll call or eating corned beef every Tuesday.

A student nurse is a wonderful creature. You can criticize her but you can’t make her quit. Might as well admit it, whether you are a head nurse, doctor, alumnus or patient, she is your personal representatives of the hospital, your living symbol of faith and sympathetic care.
