SISTER BLANCHE — Director SUSAN THIBODEAUX — Editor CHARITY HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING • New Orleans, Louisiana NURSING IS . . . “Nursing in its broadest sense may be de¬ fined as an art and a science which involves the whole patient - body, mind, and spirit; promotes his spiritual, mental and physical health by teaching and by example; stresses health education and health preservation as well as ministration to the sick; involves the care of the patient’s environment - social and spirit¬ ual as well as physical; and gives health service to the family and the community as well as to the individual.” Sister M. Olivia Gowan ■L MAKING OBSERVATIONS Observation may be defined as the act or faculty of tak¬ ing notice and is based upon knowledge, interest, attention, and use of the senses. The art of nursing encircles the art of observation, as one of the essential qualities of good nurs¬ ing is the ability to make thoughtful, intelligent observations based upon scientific works and intelligent effective action. Nurses must know what symptoms for which to observe and equally important to report and record them. The physician depends upon the nurse ' s alert and accurate observations in making a correct diagnosis and executing treatment. Data obtained by observation may be the deter¬ mining factor between life and death. The hospital is able to analyze the quality of its service through carefully recorded observations. m n .... GIVING TOTAL PATIENT CARE Giving patient-centered care includes meeting all the needs of the patient, emotional, spiritual, physical, environmental, social and economic. Teaching may be necessary in many of these aspects. Total patient care includes these aspects and the principles that the nurse must keep in mind when caring for any patient. The nurse becomes acquaint¬ ed with her patient as a person and seeks to under¬ stand his problems including any underlying cause. She then refers to the principles defined in total patient care and uses those that apply to her patient as she plans for his care and teaching. Nursing therefore, is not only the performance of skills and techniques, but rather is the care of people, with the responsibility of the nurse to. un¬ derstand people, their motivation and behavior. .COMMUNICATING THROUGH TEACHING AND PROBLEM SOLVING The nurse functions in many capacities, one of which is as a teacher. For suc¬ cessful communication and the establishment of rapport she must also be a listener, as in this manner she will discover concealed problems. Sincerity is an essential factor. She should never overlook an opportunity to teach by explanations of the why and how . Examples are important and meaningful methods of teaching. In our complex world of today many other persons are incorpo rated in the care of one patient, there¬ fore the nurse may often refer problems to those who are equipped to handle them. With greater emphasis being placed on the patient resuming self-care activities and attaining his best possible health status, the nurse’s role as a health teacher has steadily increased. ' « ' tMMM 4 Comprehensive nursing care requires at¬ tention to a patient ' s spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. One must respect and possess an understanding of man’s relation¬ ship to God and the therapeutic influence of this in a patient ' s life. Without religion how can a nurse encourage others to have faith? In practicing her profession and living in a modern society she will encounter persons of many faiths. Her religious faith will guide her in life, giving her strength and support to help others. A nurse, in her de¬ sire to help others should possess a basic understanding of the different religions so that she will be able to assist her patient in the framework of his beliefs. . . . . SPIRITUAL .UNDERSTANDING PATIENT BEHAVIOR God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can; And the wisdom to know the difference. These words should be recalled when one is planning any type of nursing care for a patient. We are all individuals, created equal. To help someone, first he must be accepted as he is. Through con¬ versations and observations the nurse usually learns some of the covert reasons for his behavior. His religious beliefs and emotional make¬ up effect the acceptance or rejection of his prognosis. His actions must be looked upon objectively in order to employ the most effective approaches to his problems. Referrals to proper individuals when nec¬ essary is a part of complete nursing care. - I REWARDING Helping a diabetic understand his diet, seeing fear and apprehension diminish from his iace as he successfully gives his first insulin injection; lending a helping hand to an amputee as he takes his first few steps, learning that his prothesis will be a help; assisting a blind patient to see using and perfecting his other senses are very rewarding to the nurse. Working with people, helping others and seeing her efforts terminate with the patient once again return¬ ing to his role in society stimulate and provide en¬ thusiasm for the nurse to conquer many obstacles in her daily life. A shy thank you or a simple smile can brighten her entire day. Giving comfort to a dying patient and faith to his family requires much of the nurse. She gives of herself to others but receives so much more than can be expressed in words or given a monetary value. • • • • • BEING A CITIZEN A citizen is one who has certain rights as voting and protection of life, rights and property. He in turn owes allegiance to the government by paying taxes and defending the flag of his country. Upon graduation the student becomes a part of society, with certain responsibilities both legal and moral. As a nurse, she will be expected to play an active part in her community. During her years in school preparation was begun to help her meet the demands placed upon her. A course in civil defense and disaster survival was offered giving instructions in both natural and man made disasters. During a re¬ cent emergency students worked in evacuation centers distributing food and other needed supplies; others worked in hospitals. Voting is one of the most cherished privileges granted any American citizen; it is a basic right in our democratic society. Students exercise their right in a ? milar manner by voting in school elec¬ tions. Those who are twenty-one are urged to reg¬ ister and vote in city, state, and national elections. One is not expected to learn and comprehend all of the complexities of our political system, but a basic understanding is essential. Lectures, readings and participation in activities help to inform the student nurse of her legal and moral responsibilities as a citizen. Wmmte .SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Poise and self-confidence in social situations are qualities everyone hopes and desires to pos¬ sess. Social activities are vital to create a nurse who is well adjusted and can adapt to any situation with minimal difficulty. Our nursing school offers a wide variety of organizations and activities to meet and challenge the interests of everyone. The Winter Formal is the highlight of the year at which time the Beauty Court is announced. Tennis, basketball, bowling and volleyball chal¬ lenge the mind as well as the body. On a bright sunny day one is likely to see girls on our familiar blue bicycles. Intramurals, occasionally between faculty and students help to establish a more wholesome relationship. Dr. Leo J. Kerne began his life March 23, 1904 in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Upon completing pre-med at Loyola in New Orleans, and medical school at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, his intern¬ ship was spent at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He was in private practice in Thibodaux from 1930 to 1956, and also from 1930 to 1935 was on the visiting staff in surgery at Charity 3 days a week. In 1956 Dr. Kerne was elected as the Director of Charity Hospital at New Orleans and is presently holding that elective position. Dr. Kerne and his wife, Katherine, (nee Katherine Menuet), are the parents of six daughters and fourteen grandchildren. Dr. Kerne is a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus, Edward Douglas White Council. He is a trustee of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Thibodaux. An active member of his community, Dr. Kerne has demonstrated his in¬ terest in education, serving on the School Board in Lafourche Parish. He also was coroner in that parish, 1948-1956. His Professional affil¬ iations include membership in the Louisiana State Medical Society, Southern Medical Society, and the American Medical Ass ' n. He is chairman, Committee on Hospitals and a member of the Board of Directors, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Thibodaux. We have noted that Dr. Kerne like many other doctors, worked his way through medical school, first as an orderly at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Memphis, and later as a male nurse both at the hospital and doing private duty. Dedication Dr. Keme, it is with much pride, pleasure and gratitude that we dedicate to you the 1965 edition of Caps and Capes. It has been evident in the past that you have taken an active interest and demonstrated much understanding when your authoritative decisions were exercised in connection with our school and therefore with us. Most of us do not fully realize how many times nor how many items are necessarily placed before you for your consideration, and in most cases your approval; the list is indeed long. Now, however, we have but to look around us at our newly renovated residence to be re¬ minded that without you this could have never been. Therefore, this dedication of our Yearbook to you is our own special way to say “Thank you” for what you have done for so many Stu¬ dents of Charity Hospital School of Nursing in the past and for what you will be called upon to do for us in the future.

Editor-in -Chief Susan Thibodeaux Co-Editor Eileen Perricone The purpose of a school annual is to summarize the events of the past year. It is our hope that the 1965 Caps and Capes has presented a truly unique and complete outline of your moments at Charity that you most want to remember. As you look through these pages in the years to follow you may recall fond memories with laughter or a tear. We sincerely hope that these pages bring to you a renewal of spirit that leads you through the doors of CHSN-- and the greatest of these is Charity. White Cap The aim of White Cap is to keep the Student Body informed of the current events happening around Charity. This year we have tried to keep it student centered. The students themselves and their activi¬ ties are featured in each issue. In this way we hope to promote even more school spirit.

Really, Easter eggs in bushes? This wheel turned a minute ago! C” Club C Club is an honorary organization with its members being selected by the club and approved by the faculty. The promotion of school spirit, the improvement of school activities, and the develop¬ ment and recognition of actual school leaders and those with potential--is their threefold purpose. Some of the activities carried out by this club are: A drive for hospital articles, repair of sports equip¬ ment and a greater recognition of those behind the scene workers who are often neglected. LASN Graduation from a school of nursing not only brings us much happiness, but also many responsibilities as members of a newly-emerging profession. The Louisiana Association of Student Nurses provides pre- professional organization on a district, state, and national level to prepare us for the role graduate nurses assume in society and in their profession. During the school year members of LASN at Charity attend meetings and conventions on all organizational levels. They participate in various projects designed to aid in the development and growth of the individual by fostering good citizenship and providing a close bond and a unified spirit among student nurses. Bev - you’ll only be gone for a week! Religious Coordinating Council This organization is composed of representative membership from of¬ ficial religious groups in the school. The purpose is to promote the wel¬ fare of each religious group and also to undertake projects which co¬ ordinate religious activities so that there is better understanding between the groups. Sodality Group Children ' s Christmas Party i Library Club The library club is an organiza¬ tion of interested students who take part in the cultural activities throughout the city, promote school spirit in library appreciation and give assistance to the librarian as necessary.
