Answer:
Greetings from ipl2,
I understand you’re looking for information on the major events during the history of nursing in Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean, and internationally.
The history of nursing is long and not easily summarized in a couple of sentences. Therefore, I have provided links to information on the history of nursing for you.
1 - American Association for the History of Nursing (AAHN)
http://www.aahn.org/about.html
The AAHN is a non-profit group dedicated to publicizing the international history of nursing. There are links to various resources, including further information sources and a calendar of major events (under the “Nursing History” tab).
2 - History of Nursing Resources - Seneca Libraries

This is a Microsoft Word document that will download to your computer. It is a bibliography (a collection of resources on a topic) put together by the library at Seneca College in California, US on the History of Nursing.
One resource listed on page 11 is specifically about nurses in the Caribbean, including in Trinidad and Tobago, Breaking the glass ceiling: The stories of three Caribbean nurses.
This book is available at the following libraries in Trinidad and Tobago:
-College of Science, Technology & Applied Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (COSTAATT) in Port of Spain
-National Library and Information System Authority of Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain
-The Alma Jordan Library, University of the West Indies, Saint Augustine in Saint Augustine
