This pin  represents our school of anesthesia.  It was designed by the original director of the school, Sr. Rudolpha.  The school was stated as being the oldest nurse anesthesia school in the US.  Originally, only the sisters were trained to give anesthetics and later it became a school for the lay nurses. 

Our school of anesthesia was designed to give us adequate clinical experience along with many hours of didactic education.  The sisters and lay instructors were totally dedicated to our learning the profession.  They devoted hours of their time to teach us and guide us through the many months of intense work and learning to give a safe anesthetic. Kudos to all who taught long hours and "watched" us clinically to ensure that the patients were safe while we learned to administer anesthesia and at the same time  develop our confidence to work alone within  the safety of our instructors constant vigilance.

Our school closed for reasons unknown to me, but it was one of the earliest schools (if not the oldest) and I shall always remember fondly the wonderful days of my anesthesia training.
