New Orleans, the nation’s first melting pot, has blossomed under three cultures, the French, Spanish and American. And, today it continues to grow as a truly interesting city. However, its ethnic traditions keep it from being a typical city - it remains engulfed in history, romance and legend. New Orleans abounds in unique style and old character which helps to make it such a perfect combination of old world charm in a modern atmosphere. New Orleans is a city in love with life. Unlike other cities ... “New Orleans takes its pleasure seriously; it pivots around Mardi Gras which is a fantasia of madness and magic rolled into mirth upon which more than three million people are both cast and audience to the greatest show on earth.” f ml . 1 I, II % ' - V 1 . : 9 h x i -. j| JB?“ r lijJjP ' ’ ■ « ' I • : _____ L iiixjm Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.

Much progress was made on the multi-million dollar program of construction, renovation and mod¬ ernization of Charity Hospital. The School of Nursing believes the highlight or this program is the plan for a new Charity Hospital School of Nursing educational building, w hich will be ready for occupancy in 1970. Also deserving commendation is the hospital ' s course in Intensive Care Nursing, which is now under¬ going its second year at Charity. The course is believed to be one of the most comprehensive courses in Intensive Care Nursing in the United States. Other improvements included installation of an electric computer, which is expected to revolution¬ ize Charity ' s procedures for administrative and financial record-keeping and strengthen the hospital ' s program of scientific research and patient care. r , • ff-] ••• ' Ml -•� f . )l ; 7 t -% ■- • ■ ■ -,K - - ;, f -ffjf vl Ej •$ I 3tfS13 , 5y £ Ei � � ‘ r , fp- t _• ' ; SISTER ELEANOR is Director of Sisters Division which includes department heads, supervisors, and specialized personnel in Charin ' Hospital and its School of Nursing.

The 1968-69 school year has had its own kind of hectic activities. Renovation of the C.H.S.N. dormitory is complete after many years of reversals and set-backs; new furni¬ ture has replaced the 30 year old vintage. Plans for the school’s new educational build¬ ing due to be completed in 1970 have been repeatedly revised but now completed. Much of Sister Blanche ' s time has been spent in long considerations, decision-making and implementing of plans for these projects. Other of her responsibilities include member¬ ship in nine regional, state and national nursing organizations; two of which are the Executive Committee of the Council of Di¬ ploma Programs of the National League of Nursing; Chairman of the Department of Di¬ ploma Programs of Louisiana League for Nurs¬ ing. In her busy schedule, Sister Blanche also reserves as a prime responsibility the time for considering the promotion of each student, for reviewing her progress in the School and for citing those students for Di¬ rector ' s Honor Roll membership and outstand¬ ing achievement in an area of nursing experience.

' � • : 1 t1, , 7 S ? . fe - s fBJlipfc DEPARTMENTS Much foresight into nursing is provided to students here at Charity Hospital School of Nursing through the numerous departments in which we preform technical skills and nursing care as well as gain knowledge through formal class. With this system of learning, we are better able to see the “good” and “bad” at the same time we are planning our future as Registered Nurses in one of these fields - Top: In the premature nursery, the new infant is exposed to the splashing water of his first bath. Left: On the postpartal wards, new mothers learn the principles of infant care, as demonstrated by Paula Favre. Right: Following delivery, Barbara Zafereo and Edna Coston take the newborn on his first ride to the nursery via an incubator. -i-=-■ - - Maternity And Newborn Nursing — Where Little Things Mean A Lot The course in Maternity and Newborn Nursing provided the Junior students with ten weeks of theory and nursing experience in the care of the pregnant woman (before, during and after delivery) and the newborn infant. Through films, assigned readings and discussion, emphasis was placed on involving the total family during pregnancy. These students also had the opportunity to observe and to parti¬ cipate in giving prenatal and postpartal care to private patients in the offices of private obstetricians. Left: In the term nursery, Pamela Hastings feeds a hungry but sleepy newborn. Below: On the delivery unit, students provide supportative care as an expectant mother is abou t to experience the joy of becom¬ ing a mother. 65 Medical Surgical Nursing - a rather all in- compassing title which actually included four nursing courses of ten weeks duration each. Jun¬ ior level courses consisted of Medical Nursing 153 and Surgical Nursing 155 which included operating room experiences, recovery room, and orthopedic nursing experiences. Senior level courses consisted of Surgical Nursing 154 in ad¬ dition to Senior Medical Surgical Nursing 166 which was composed of team nursing, neuro¬ surgical nursing, and intensive care nursing. Through this series of courses which account¬ ed for one year in the nursing curriculum, a stu¬ dent progressed from the comprehensive care of one patient to the progressive team care of many patients, as well as the intensive care of several patients. Emphasis is on the patient?? ' ' If I only had a brown lab coat. wfiflfcsStiosP Medical Surgical Nursing . . . But I can’t breathe through my nose!

Teaching was accomplished through showing and discussing health films, implementing a self-constructed lesson plan on a topic of choice and participating in a program of classes for expectant mothers. In this area of learning, the student chose a patient for special study and visited his home. Visits for the observation of continuity of care were also made to patients referred by other students who had nursed them in the hospital ward. Several field trips to and guest speakers from health and welfare agencies were scheduled. The student also learned concepts of disaster nursing during a three week tour of experience in the Emergency Room.

BELOW LEFT: Mary Reaney irrigates a patient’s ear, as Barbara Viator offers emotional support in an ENT clinic. BELOW RIGHT: Julie Foret weighs patients in Pediatric Clinic. 69 Nursing of Children, Where Play is Work The most delightful words of a preschooler at Charity Hospital are, Where is my student nurse? Is she coming tomorrow? She belongs to me!” In Nursing of children, the student learned to ad¬ just to the child by putting herself in his place for a short time, to think his thoughts, feel his needs, and to understand his limitations. This 9 unit course of¬ fering concurrent theory and nursing experience in the area of Infants, Juveniles, and Communicable Diseases provided the student an opportunity to care for children from birth to twelve years of age. The nurse was given a comprehensive picture of the child - his growth and development, his care, and his health problems - at each of the developmental periods. She was also provided an opportunity for health teach¬ ing to both the child and his parents. TOP RIGHT: Now Nurse, you’ve gotta take the cap off first! Can’t shoot a fellow that way! LOWER LEFT: Feeding and bathing are part of a nurse’s day too. LOWER RIGHT: There’s telephones, balloons, big bears ... in the Playroom. 70 The Interpersonal Process of Psychiatric Nursing The course in psychiatric nursing continued to emphasize the use of scientific knowledge in . understanding behavior, and purposeful use of self in establishing helpful relationships with patients. Students established one-to-one rela¬ tionships with psychiatric patients, and also car¬ ried out various individual projects throughout the year - such as sewing groups, exercises, square dancing, and even a mock presidential election. The hope for the student who complet¬ ed the course was that she had a better under¬ standing of ALL persons and the ability to use the principles of psychiatric nursing in all of her fu¬ ture nursing practice. TOP LEFT: I could have danced all night. But at 8:30 in the morning, it’s another story! TOP RIGHT: Name it and you can keep it!

BELOW: Conferences provided op¬ portunity for discussion and further understanding of student and patient needs. Emphasis was placed upon learning prin¬ ciples, the guides to nursing action, in the first year nursing courses which are con¬ sidered foundation for 2nd and 3rd year nursing courses. Nursing experience and nursing conferences were provided concur¬ rently with class. Opportunities in the clinical area were provided to develop understandings and skills in the practice of nursing functions common to the care of most patients. The beginning student was first assigned to meet basic needs of non- critical patients on a functional basis pro¬ gressing to caring for patients presenting commonly occurring health problems.

BELOW: That microbe must be here someplace. ..i vMT -■ ■ A • Into the Realms of the Basic Sciences — The Curious Come to Know the Human Body Better Basic Sciences were taught in the freshman year and gave the student the scientific found¬ ation for nursing. In Anatomy and Physiology, such topics as Beams of Bone, Moving with Muscle, and a Network that Never Sleeps gave an unde rstanding of the skeleton, muscles and nervous system. Microbiology probed the world of life visible through the microscope showing the student another world of organisms - some pathological - some beneficial to human life. In Chemistry the student learned to correlate chemicals as they function in the human body. Thus the internal environment of man has a constant state of homeostasis. Nutrition provided the student with new con¬ cepts of food as a tool in maintaining good health through proper diets when studying various states of human health.

CHASN Promotes Professionalism The primary purpose of the Charity Hospital Association of Stu¬ dent Nurses is to provide preprofessional direction to student nurses by encouraging participation in the various activities sponsored throughout the year. Included among this year ' s activities were the State Convention which 49 CHAS N members attended and a district recruitment program entitled Breakthrough to Nursing which aimed to interest minority groups in a nursing career. The necessary funds to carry on these activities were obtained through several means - a car wash, Tupperware Party, and the sale of Halloween candy. Among the achievements which the organizations members attained this year are the Student Nurse of the State, a District Officer, and the Chairman of the Student Nurse of the State Committee.

The council acts for, and in the name of, the student body and is a liaison agent between the administra¬ tion and the student group. Student Council members assume the respon¬ sibility of considering infractions of rules and regulations with which stu¬ dents are charged and for imposing penalties previously determined by Council and the administration. The Student Council of 1968-69 will prob¬ ably long be remembered for writing many letters containing recommenda¬ tions to the faculty. RIGHT: You know, I th ink they should make us honorary members!

Through various club sponsored activities, the student body was brought together with hopes of advancing school spirit and pro¬ moting inter-class apprecation. Pep rallies before volleyball games promoted school attendance at the games and helped spur the Charity team on to win. Everyone enjoyed the fun, food, and costumes at the Thanksgiving Weiner Roast once the fires were lit! Besides promoting school spirit, students helped spread Christmas cheer at the party for the underprivileged children of the area. C Club provided a student telephone directory, an Easter party for faculty and students and was ever ready to help serve refreshments after school functions. The activities of the Catholic Student Organization provided education, relaxation, and entertainment for its members. The club sponsored guest speakers on various topics of current interest. One activity the club promoted in collaboration with Father Meyers was Inquiry Classes on Catholicism for all students. A spring retreat was planned, not only for the members, but for all interested students. RIGHT: Father Lange conducted a series of lectures on the significance of Catholicism.

Every Wednesday evening the organization was heard above the masterful accompaniment of Doug Boylan. One looking in on a practice might have thought Choral Club members were pretending to be dancing stars; while instead they were practicing for such shows as their program on the post-war 30 s. All-in-all, it was a fun year with a lot of excitement. 87 Library Club Renders Service Although its membership is small, the Library Club is a club of action whose purpose is to render service to the school and provide assistance to the librarians whenever necessary. Activities for the 1968-69 school year included programs featuring authorities on classical music and skin care. Club members also participated in cultural activities which included ushering for the 1968-69 New Orleans Symphony and Opera Season and visiting the Wax Museum where the members were whisked back in time to view the historical past. The major money-making pro¬ ject was the annual Book Sale which added greatly to the Club’s treasury. Sheila and Mary help return books to their proper places. RIGHT: SEATED: D. Arieux, President; A.

White Cap — the Students’ Voice In order to keep in step with the fast pace of the students this year, the newspaper staff was reorganized to include not only a general editor, but also in¬ dividual department editors. Proofreading, layout committees and typists also played a vital role. A Letters to the Editor column was added so that the voice of each student could be heard. Also to in¬ sure freedom of speech, no articles were deleted or drastically changed before a conference was held with the reporter. Films and pamphlets offered ed¬ ucation in journalism.

Working and going to class, drug cards, care plans, growth studies ... At times it all seems useless; the gap between the reality of nursing and the ideal widens. But this day we are proud to be nurses. We are young; we can make nursing what we want it to be. Our opportunity is now. We accept our Charity Cap proudly, and we place our highest goals in it. Promising ourselves that the coming year will be a good one - one in which we become increasingly skilled and more aware of others ' needs. The black band is the paramount. We are almost there. This is the year of polishing skills, of solidifying ideals. This is the day we come to the realization of who we are, what nursing is, and what kind of a nurse we are going to be. This is capping and black banding. Dr. Peter Jannetta, Chairman of Neurosurgery at L.S.U. Medical Center, was guest speaker at Convocation.
