Thou Art encircles APSU student efforts The Thou Art club is the departmental art club at APSU. Membership is open to all student majoring or minoring in art. educaHon The Austin Peay Student Nurses' Association which is a constituent of the Tennessee Association of Student Nurses and the National Student Nurses' Association, is a local chapter of the only national organization for stu- dents of nursing. As such, APSNA assumes a responsibility for contribut- ing to nursing education in order to provide for the high- est quality of health care, seeking to provide programs for its members which will aid in the development of the whole person, support hisiher professional role as a fu- ture Registered Nurse and increase the awareness of the responsibility which is necessary in fulmling that role. Since its organization in 1971, APSNA has had one 01 the largest memberships in the state of Tennessee, and several of its delegates have been elected to state offices. Working with the state organization, APSNA members have studied such issues as llStriking Nurses: A Possibil- ity , ll Malpractice: Paying a Price, i'Legislation and Nurses and HChanges in Nursing Education . This year APSNA has also been active in a national effort to set up and staff hypertension screening and referral clinics. In cooperation with the American Heart Association, these clinics are designed to discover people with high blood pressure and refer them to their physi- cian before the disease becomes life threatening. Recently, the American Nurses' Association has launched a campaign to enhance the nursing image. This is an issue with which APSNA has been concerned for several years and plans to work with and support in 1977- '78. The campaign is designed to 'ireplace the public's handmaiden image of nursing with a recognition of nurses as independent professional health care providers.
