cmcm DQrJwten DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN! You first came in training and you were embarrassed to tears at the first physical . We started training with 86 students. We were almost campused because someone needed mouth- wash. You went to U.B., had some wonderful times, became an expert at slipping out of classes and had such insight as to know exactly whose classes you could skip. Someone found a dead fish in their pillow. Tulips and Heather on the NFT. You had anatomy lab with Miss Popa. Norton and the pinochle games. We went swimming April twenty-first before our Micro class. Nursing Arts lab on Sat. morning and we gave each other bed baths - remember why Hess had to empty and sterilize the bed pan. The water fights on the second floor. When Medinger was afraid of the bogey man. The Capping Prom at the Hotel Statler. The first day we worked with our newly acquired caps. Our picnic at Pillar ' s, remember Miss Peck and Miss Galantowicz playing baseball. We first started working full time - and thought it was fun - and just couldn ' t wait for relief. Our practical exam, Haun had to do Post Mortem Care. Our first hypos, it hurt us more than it did the patient. Someone put the catheter in the wrong place in Mrs. B. and she had uterine tidal drainage. We knocked over the whole table of solutions for cleaning surgery in Dr. Kenwell ' s surgery. Someone tried to fit two D.K. trucks in the old elevator and spent one half hour trying to get out. We pureed the cherry pits. Horton was handed an amputated leg and she took it up to Pathology on the elevator. We roller skated down ttie hall at 636. The three CVA ' s in 136. Working nights on I Old. Everybody had Infectious Mononucleosis. 42
