Though in 1856, at the age of fifteen, Richards entered <a href="/wiki/St._Johnsbury_Academy" title="St. Johnsbury Academy">St. Johnsbury Academy</a> for a year in order to become a teacher, and indeed taught for several years, she was never truly happy in that profession.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1860, Richards met George Poole, to whom she became engaged.

Her first job was at <a href="/wiki/Boston_City_Hospital" title="Boston City Hospital">Boston City Hospital</a>, where she received almost no training and was subjected to overwork. She left that hospital after only three months but was undaunted by her experiences there. In 1872, Linda Richards became the first student to enroll in the inaugural class of five nurses in the first American <a href="/wiki/Nursing_school" class="mw-redirect" title="Nursing school">Nurse's training school</a>. This pioneering school was run by <a href="/wiki/Susan_Dimock" title="Susan Dimock">Dr. Susan Dimock</a>, at the <a href="/wiki/New_England_Hospital_for_Women_and_Children" title="New England Hospital for Women and Children">New England Hospital for Women and Children</a> in Boston. </p><p>Linda describes her nursing training: “We rose at 5.30 a.m. and left the wards at 9 p.m. to go to our beds, which were in little rooms between the wards. Each nurse took care of her ward of six patients both day and night. Many a time I got up nine times in the night; often I did not get to sleep before the next call came. We had no evenings out, and no hours for study or recreation. Every second week we were off duty one afternoon from two to five o'clock. No monthly allowance was given for three months.” </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Linda_Richards&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Upon graduating one year later, she moved to <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, where she was hired as a night supervisor at <a href="/wiki/Bellevue_Hospital_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="Bellevue Hospital Center">Bellevue Hospital Center</a>. While working there, she created a system for keeping individual records for each patient, which was to be widely adopted both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Aware of how little she still knew as a nurse, Linda began her quest to acquire more knowledge and then pass this on to others by establishing high quality nurse training schools. </p><p>Returning to Boston in 1874, she was named superintendent of the Boston Training School for Nurses (now, <a href="/wiki/MGH_Institute_of_Health_Professions" title="MGH Institute of Health Professions">Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing</a>). Though the school's training program was only a year old at the time, it was under threat of closure due to poor management. Richards, however, improved the program to such an extent that it was soon regarded as one of the best of its kind in the country.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
