Nursing staff: Miss Miller, Mrs. Risser, Miss Jones, Miss Pooling. Student Nurses The fall semester of 1958 at Belleville Junior Col¬ lege marked the inauguration of a new and growing concept in education—the junior college nursing pro¬ gram. The idea for the project was introduced to the community by Dr. Ilal O. Hall, former superin¬ tendent. A nursing advisory group headed by Dr. W. C. Scrivner, a prominent local physician, was then organized. After a long period of careful considera¬ tion which included addresses by authorities on the subject of nursing education, it was decided that such a program should be established at Belleville Junior College, and a resolution was passed to that effect. Preparation included drawing up plans for a nurs¬ ing suite to occupy the third floor of the Auditorium building. This suite was to be designed to closely resemble a typical hospital ward. Another important phase of preparation included the selection and em¬ ployment of a capable administrator and of qualified instructors. The plans for the nursing suite were ultimately completed, and construction was begun.

Furnished with the latest equipment, the ward pro¬ vides an ideal opportunity for the application of nurs¬ ing principles preceding actual hospital practice. Doing an excellent job presiding over these ade¬ quate and attractive facilities are Miss Clara May Miller, R. N., Director of Nursing, and instructors Barbara Dooling, R. N., and Josephine Jones, R. N. Students enrolled in our nursing program receive both nursing theory and practice which includes not only a complete and comprehensive knowledge of health needs and of nursing skills and methods, but also an understanding of the sociological, psychologi¬ cal, economic, and spiritual aspects of their future jobs. Clinical practice is obtained at hospitals in the local area, including Memorial Hospital and St. Eliz¬ abeth’s. I his clinical work is carefully arranged to instruct the student nurses to care for all types of illness. In addition, the students will study in the State Psychiatric Hospital at Anna, Illinois. After the first two academic years, the student will receive an Associate of Arts degree. She will con¬ tinue for a third year and summer when she will re- 18
