Members had the oppor- tunity to explore careers in the field of nursing and to encourage other students to explore this area. Club members were frequently able to visit nursing centers and get first- hand information on the career which was interesting to them. The enthusiasm which was exhibited last term is certain to be reflected in fu- ture plans. Members of this organization were made aware of the need for well- trained, qualified nurses. They dis- covered that there was no limit to the job opportunities in the area of nursing, and members of the Future Nurses ex- plored, in detail, the necessary qualifi- cations for these careers. 45 ' if 1 fm su 1 Gwendolyn Ford and Gloria Brown get a learn doing knowledge of practical nursing. fn Org
