Susie completed her formal education by training at the Franklin County Memorial Hospital in Northfield and then practicing at Boston City Hospital. One of Susie's most cherished distinctions was granted in 1978, when the American Indian Nurses Association named her "Grandmother of American Indian Nurses."Comments11/16/2006 8:17:48 AMEllen Gianoli, RN, BSN said: Thank you for this tip.
