This paper focuses on nurses and midwives in Montreal, Halifax, and Saint John in the decades leading up to the introduction of trained nurses. Self-employed (private) nurses are compared with those in hospitals. overwhelmingly of the working-class, predominantly women, and frequently widows, the nurses were not formally trained, though some midwives were. Comparisons are made between nurses and midwives in Montreal, Halifax, Saint John, and their counterparts in Toronto. The changing fortunes of midwives during the era are also discussed. Cet article s'intéresse aux pratiques des infirmières et des sagesfemmes de Montréal, d'Halifax et de Saint-Jean, au 19e siècle, soit avant l'arrivée des infirmières diplômées. C'est-à-dire, au cours des décennies durant lesquelles les infirmières, surtout des femmes de la classe ouvrière et ouvent des veuves, travaillaient sans avoir reçu une formation particulière. Des comparaisons sont faites entre les infirmières ayant une pratique privée et celles oeuvrant en milieu hospitalier ainsi qu'avec leurs homologues de Toronto. Les fortunes changeantes des sages-femmes de l'époque sont également discutées.
