Description

Chicago singularly honored nurses, our “Angels of Mercy,” for a decade (1949–1958). Father Clarence M. Brissette O.S.M., director of the Sorrowful Mother Novena, originated both Chicago’s “Nurses Day” and Chicago’s Nurse Parade in 1949. The aim of the parade was once twofold: to offer the nurses a “day of glory” and to also encourage others to sign up for this undermanned, noble, and caring profession. The primary Chicago Nurse Parade (1949) had two floats, four bands, and included many nurses marching in capes. The ten-year anniversary parade (1958) had 4,000 marching uniformed nurses, over 30 bands, and over 100 decorated floats representing just about all Chicagoland hospitals and schools of nursing. In 1958, over 100,000 spectators lined Jackson Boulevard to honor nurses in what will be the final parade.
