ADD DATE- What I noticed about the article was that article really doesn't talk much about her death or early life. So I want to add more on that but also add more on what made her who she was. And talk more about her and what she did.

Dolly began working with the Ministry of Health in San Fernando, as well as a group of different charitable organizations like the Chest and Heart Association (which she founded in 1940) and the Coterie of Social Workers.[5] Between the 1950's and the 1990's the nursing profession in the Caribbean went through an unremarkable change.{article} '''Not affiliated with any particular hospital, she depended on placements from the nursing association and the government. When she first published one of her books named the Breaking the Glass Ceiling she had been the first to write a history on the Caribbean nursing for both popular and academic audience.'''{article} In 1943, Reynold took a position at the Pointe-à-Pierre Hospital (PPH) as a junior medical officer. The PPH, was a private facility located in an oil refinery compound, initially run by British Petroleum, then for a time by Texaco and was nationalized when Trinidad and Tobago gained its independence, eventually becoming Petrotrin. As employees of the hospital were provided homes, the couple moved onto the compound,[6] as the only black couple living among the oil workers.[7] They soon had three children: Joan, Stephen and Hilary.[8]

Dolly was not a typical stay-at-home mother, but instead, left the home every day to participate in community works.[9] She was extremely active in nursing, pressing for legislation to register and regulate the industry. The Nurses’ Registration Ordinance No. 38, pushed through because of Dolly’s perseverance was passed in 1950. She pressed for creation of the College of Nursing, was a founding member of the Trinidad and Tobago Nurses Association, serving as its executive director for many years,[3] and led the drive to create the Nursing Council of Trinidad and Tobago, to oversee the members of the profession.[10]

In 1962, Dolly was honored as an officer of the Order of the British Empire for her contributions to nursing in the country.[11] Her volunteerism and community service was further recognized the government of Trinidad and Tobago when she was awarded the Gold Public Service Medal of Merit of the Order of the Trinity in 1976.[12][13]

2.28.2019- Great work so far, Kelly! Can you complete the citations for these sources (author, title, publication, date)? And also, did you try Biography in Context? Do that next week and see what you find. :) You should also copy and paste the part of the Wikipedia page into this Sandbox to work on.

3.11.2019- Hi Kelly. It doesn't look like you were able to find more on Biography in Context? Do that as soon as you can and update the sources below. How will you use them in the article? Can you bold what you update or change so I can give you feedback?

4.4.2019- Hi Kelly,

I think what you should do about Bernice Dolly's wikipedia page is just update it with the bolded language you added in your sandbox, including the citation you currently have listed as (article). Here are some instructions on inserting citations in the right format:   https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students/sources/add-a-citation-continued

Do that much only and you'll be all finished. There's a reflection essay on the project due next Sunday.

Thanks!

Wow, Berenice Dolly is not an easy person to track down! Biography in Context does not have anything, nor does Britannica or any of the several other databases I checked (which was a lot). In fact, the best source of information on Dolly appears to be the book you cite, "Breaking the Glass Ceiling." Were you able to get hold of a copy of this book? No local library has it, so it would take a little while to get a copy sent out here, but we can do that if you like. Google Books has some excerpts you can use: https://books.google.com/books?id=MQhZAAAAQBAJ And I see it costs $4 on Kindle, though I hate to suggest spending any money -- it would just be the quickest way.

If you feel you are able to wait for the week or so it would take to get the book sent to BC, go to this link http://butte.worldcat.org/oclc/46653064 and click the gold "Request this book through InterLibrary Loan" button on the right side of the page. Fill out the form (the patron ID is your student ID#) and we'll get it for you as soon as we can.
