The early days in Calcutta are mentioned on page 66, Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj by Jharna Gourlay 2003 [http://books.google.com/books?id=egysl1oHBI0C&pg=PA66 Limited View Google Books]. Female nursing was introduced in the Army in Madras in the late 1860’s, well before Calcutta, see [http://books.google.com/books?id=egysl1oHBI0C&pg=PA73 page 73] of the same book.Read a review of this book by Ruth Compton [http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/llt/55/br_25.html Brouwer]<br>Calcutta 1885 page 83, Our Viceregal Life in India, Volume I by Marchioness of Dufferin And Ava 2008 [http://books.google.com/books?id=CEUYY3Gu5kMC&pg=PA83 Limited View Google Books]
"[http://www.carefoundation.org.in/Clc_3.htm Nursing in India]" by Shubhada Sakurikar states that for many years nursing training was the preserve of Europeans and Anglo-Indians. The Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy (JJ) Hospital ([[Bombay]]) was the first to train nurses in western India. The first Indian lady to come forward for nursing training was Bai Kashibai Ganpat in 1891 in Bombay, implying that European and Eurasians were training prior to this date. In the years that followed, nursing schools were established all over the country in collaboration with government, state and private hospitals.
