Operating Room Technician Doris Zieman Sheyenne, N. Dak. Air Stewardess Every year the Bismarck Evangelical Hospital receives a new class of student nurses interested in serving humanity and becoming a part of the nursing profession. Classes, laboratory work, and other phases of medicine are taught in the Bismarck junior college as well as the hospital. Becoming affiliated with the college has placed the hospital in a high scholastic standing. For four months little practical work is done and nurses are privileged to attend classes at the college. During these months, she must pass rigid test in work, obedience, and scholarship in order to fulfill requirements of her probationary period. Perhaps one of the most thrilling expeiences of any nurse is the realization that she has passed the test and is ready to receive her cap at the capping ceremony following the pro- bationary period. The clases taught at the college by Dean Swensen, Mr. Ramage, Mr. Stimson, Mr. Dalton, and Mr. Schaumberg are psychology and sociology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry and physical education Other additional classes are taught at the nursing school by the nursing arts instructor, Miss Grove; the educational director. Miss Swenson: dietician. Miss Englebrecht; the laboratory technician, Dr. Bixby; med- ical doctor, Dr. Fredericks; music instructor, Mrs. Wr:ght; and operating room supervisor, Miss Hanson. The courses include a laboratory period, ethics, nutrition, bacteriology, history of nursing, materia medica, glee club, and operating room technique. These aid in giving the students good ground in fundamentals before getting their actual experience; thereby enabling them to practice more efficiently and intelli- gently. During her three-year nursing school course, a nurse must spend three to four months in the operating room, eight months in medical nursing, nine months in obstetrics, one and a half months in dietetics, one month in the X-ray and three weeks a year vacation. The complete course is three years or 1095 days. The Superintendent of Nurses is Miss Martha Hirdin; the house mother of the Nurses’ Home is Mrs. Gertrude Bruns. n m PAGE TWENTY-ONE
