Nurse Tompkins was the first trained nurse in Albemarle County and among the first licensed nurses in Virginia. She was born in 1863, the daughter of Augustine Poore and Charles Gilmer Tompkins. Robinette entered the Homeopathic Hospital Nursing School (now Genesee School of Nursing), in Rochester, New York, in 1893. She graduated in 1895 and returned to Charlottesville, where she was a private nurse except when she headed Dr. Hugh T. Nelson's Sanatorium at 201 East High Street. As one Charlottesville doctor recalls, "In about '98 Miss Robinette Tompkins came to Charlottesville to do private nursing. The general prediction was that she would starve, but she didn't, …" (Dr. Halstead S. Hedges, "A Doctor's Reminiscences of Albemarle County," in Papers of the Albemarle County Historical Society, 1942-43).
