Susie Walking Bear Yellowtail was the first American Indian graduate registered nurse, fully prepared to pursue her dream of dedicating her life to helping Native American peoples. 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."
