===Training===
''[http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/node/24216 Missionary women doctors in nineteenth century Delhi]'' by Kaushik Das Gupta states that St Stephens Hospital, Delhi started a training School for nurses under Alice Wilkinson — the first trained British nurse who joined the hospital in 1908. Wilkinson became the hospital's nursing superintendent and is credited with raising the standard of nursing not only in St Stephen's but in the rest of India as well. She founded the Trained Nurses’ Association of India and worked as its secretary until 1948. This [http://www.superstoresindia.com/organisations.htm link] is about St Stephen’s Hospital, Delhi.
===Professional Associations===The ''Association of Nursing Superintendents'' was founded in 1905 at [[Lucknow]]. The organization was composed of nine European nurses holding administrative posts in hospitals. At the 1908 Annual Conference held in Bombay, a decision was taken to establish the ''Trained Nurses’ Association''. This Association was inaugurated in 1909. The ''Association of Nursing Superintendents'' and the ''Trained Nurses’ Association'' were amalgamated in 1922 and renamed ''The Trained Nurses’ Association of India'' (TNAI).
The Up-Country Nursing Association for Europeans In India, founded in 1892 in the UK, sent trained nurses to India for employment under local committees nursing sick Europeans in up-country districts. Lady Minto’s Nursing Association, established 1906 in the UK, sent nurses to India to provide private nursing for Europeans in India. The former organisation later amalgamated with the latter. The Royal College of Nursing Archives (Edinburgh) (refer section below) holds the record "Lady Minto's Indian Nursing Association" (catalogue reference '''C/123''') Emma Wilson was working in India with the Lady Minto’s Indian Nursing Association from the 1920’s? until 1947. She was Chief Lady Superintendent from 1938 to 1947. Wilson wrote ''Gone With the Raj'', published 1974.<sup>[[Nurse#Notes|3]] </sup>  ===Journals=======Nursing Journal of India====The ''Nursing Journal of India'' (Nurs J India) began publishing in 1912.
