About This Design

Mary Eliza Mahoney First Black Nurse RN Magnet

Mary Eliza Mahoney First Black Nurse RN Magnet

Remember those who came before. Mary Eliza Mahoney (1845-1926) was the first Black woman in America to become a licensed nurse. Mahoney was the daughter of former slaves who moved to Boston. She was determined to become a nurse and worked as a janitor, washerwoman, cook, and nurse’s aide at the New England Hospital for Women and Children until she was finally accepted into the nursing program in 1878 at 33 years old. The formal nursing training, one of the first in the nation, was a 16-month intensive program. Of the 42 women who started, only 4 completed it, including Mary Mahoney. This made her the first African-American registered nurse in the country. Mahoney choose to work as a private nurse for wealthier families because of the discrimination she faced at public hospitals. Facing more discrimination from nursing organisations, she co-founded the National Association of Coloured Graduate Nurses (NACGN) in 1908. She later became director of director of the Howard Orphanage Asylum for African-American children. Ever the pioneer for equality, she is among the first women who registered to vote in Boston after passage of the 19th Amendment.
