GARRISON – Sixty years ago, Sr. Agnes Reinert began her nursing career as a student nurse at Garrison Memorial Hospital. In two weeks, she will be ending it in the same place she started. Later this month, Sr. Agnes will retire from the hospital to return to her religious community in Bismarck. In her own words, Sr. Agnes has come “full circle,” she said with a laugh as she sat in the conference room at CHI St. Alexius Health Garrison last Wednesday. She first came to Garrison to work at the Garrison hospital “for the clinical experience” in the summers of 1962 and 1963. Sr. Agnes was a student at the University of Mary, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1964.
