Don Mackey, one of the many male student nurses, has had several jobs con- nected with medicine. So it was only natural that he chose a career with which he was so familiar. Male nurses, more commonly accepted than they once were, can often be seen at CCCC. Th nursing program allows for nur ing practice for both male and J male students. One male nurse, Don Macke originally from Galion, Ohio, p sently lives in Auburn and plan on recieving his nursing degree May. For approximately twenty years, Don worked at odd jobs, all connected with nursing and medicine. He tried to breakaway a few times, but kept coming back to- nursing. He began his career in the Air Force as a physician's a sistant. He then worked in a lar general hospital in Ohio. Don chose CCCC for his nur: ing education because he was fa miliar with the Auburn area, an he believes the Good Lord chol it ' - 3 Don's plans for the future in, clude moving to the southwest- ern part of the country and be- coming involved in a Physician'sI Assistant Program in a rural set- ting. This would mean making house calls and treating people who live where they can't get to a doctor. For a small fee he would like to help people who can't help themselves. Another male nurse, Fred Ga etti, chose CCCC because he fee- he can get the same education mere, at a two year college as he would ifhe went to a four year school. U Fred chose nursing as a caree because he enjoys helping peoplr and doesn't like to see them sul fer. Fred, from Seneca Falls, plan to Work for a few years after graduation before going back to school to further his education. CCCC is very proud of its nur ing program. It is also proud of the men and women who have d cided to pursue such a worth- while career.

Most of our high school friends had scat- tered to different jobs and colleges across the country, so the faces and names around us were, for the most part, strange. The buildings were dif- ferent, the courses unfamiliar, and it took a few days for us to fall into a he iff For many of us the transition was even greater as we moved out of the house and into an apartment close to the college. The rest of us cornmuted to school, coming through all kinds of weather to make that class or exam. But whether we were saving money or enjoying extra freedoms, the first year gave us a new sense of responsibility. very simple and well organized Hi, fl MOST FRESHMEN, Kulak finds registration me round H look Ht 2626 1 Pmrhm 1 10 Fresh men Divider.
