1 Future nurses help the helpless The Student Nursing Program, under the direction of Barbara Duke, trains ju- niors and seniors interested in a nursing career to care for people of all ages with physical problems ranging from the minor to the critical. The class is a mean- ingful learning experience. It teaches the importance of cooper- ation with classmates because it takes a lot of responsibility to accomplish nurs- ing tasks and there isn ' t any room for bad feelings. Student nurses learn everything from making a bed hospital-style to caring for a person who is completely helpless. The course requires a great deal of time and concern. A student does everything that the experienced LVN ' s and RN ' s do except for giving injections and distri- buting medication. Duties range from bathing, shaving and brushing the patients ' teeth, clean- ing the unit (room], making beds, help- ing with use of the commode, bed pans and urinals and taking the patients ' vital signs. Students are also responsibile for DEAD OR ALIVE. The nurses do a demonstration on an undead patient during a class period. CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS. The nurses tal e pride in their appearance. Kelli Iverson puts the finishing touches on her shoes. walking patients and encouraging them to do things they don ' t want to do. The students ' sole responsibility is to care for the patients and make them as com- fortable as possible, no matter what condition they may be in. This has to be done with the best of ability without get- ting too involved. Students in the program spend three days a week in acute hospitals, such as Ukiah Community, and convalescent hospitals like Ukiah Convalescent and Driftwood, and study in the classroom two days a week after completing the course, they take a state board exam, If they pass, they become Certified Nurs- ing Assistants with certificates and pins and are qualified for jobs at any hospi- tal. Graduate Franke Pinnell said, I highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in nursing because at the same time you ' re getting school credits, you are learning a skill that will be useful for the rest of your life. HEART AND SOUL. The nursing program teaches not only the basic skills but more advanced skills too. Diane Proctor and Jill Masterson demonstrate their skills. NOT THAT, NO.
