No one deserves more recognition than you who have struggled through long hours of study, care plans and history forms; taken the bus in the early morning hours from Charity Hospital School of Nursing to University of New Orleans; struggled to find parking places around the school; worked in Charity’ Emer ' gency Room; used sheets for towels and pillowcases for washcloths to care for patients; and withstood five tests in one week. All of this has been done in your quest of this goal and so often it seemed like an impossible dream. So to all the students of C.H.S.N. . . . this book is about you and for you. Caps and Capes Staff 1973-1974 THE STUDENTS The Impossible Dream From the musical play, Man of LaMancha Words by Joe Darion Music by Mitch Leigh To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the breave dare not go. To right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star! This is my quest, to follow,that star, Xo matter how hopeless, no matter how far; To fight for the right without question or pause, To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause! And I know, if I’ll only be true - To this glorious quest. That my heart will be peaceful and calm, When I’m laid to my rest. And the world will be better for this; That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable star.

The clinical areas used for nursing ex¬ perience include orthopedics, medical and cardiac intensive care units, and general medical units. SURGICAL NURSING Using a team nursing approach, nurs¬ ing care in planned and implemented for individual patients and groups of patients. In the team nursing ap¬ proach an important aspect is estab¬ lishing effective relationships with patients, families, and other mem¬ bers of the health team. SURGICAL Surgical Nursing II offers the stu¬ dent concurrent theory and nursing experience in the care of the adult patient with complex surgical prob¬ lems. The clinical areas used are the general surgery wards, genito¬ urinary wards, SICU, CCU, and the Burn Unit. NURSING II . NU RSING OF Nursing of Children offers the stu¬ dent a comprehensive picture of the child and his health problems from birth through adolescence, and nurse-child-parent situations as encountered by the student. Empha¬ sis is placed on the importance of identifying and understanding growth and development, preven¬ tion, treatment and rehabilitation needs at each specific age level. Nursing experience is provided on the medical and surgical services of both infants and juveniles, and in the area of communicable diseases in children of all ages. Observa¬ tional experience in PICU, pediat¬ ric emergency room, child devel¬ opment center and field trips to agencies concerned with child health problems are also integrated. CHILDREN ACCIDENT ROOM PATIENT NLY COMMUNITY 68 Community health nursing gives the senior student of nursing an understanding of the physical and emotional needs of the non- hospitalized person and his family in our multicultural and multiracial society by in¬ creasing the nursing knowledge and skills needed to meet these health needs through the use of community health resources. NURSING Nursing experience is provided in a variety of community settings. Some of these are the community mental h ealth center, a nurs¬ ing home, outpatient clinics for ambulatory patients, a parish public health center, a hospital unit that deals strictly with reha¬ bilitation of the totally or partially handi¬ capped person and the emergency rooms, both medical acute and surgical trauma. 69 p- ' . JUNIOR GENERAL General Medical Nursing presents many aspects of care with emphasis on the care of the total patient, composed by all of his needs. Some of these needs are physio¬ logical, cultural, spiritual, psychologi¬ cal, diversional, and social. The nursing goal is to meet these needs or to help the person to meet them himself. ! I MEDICAL NURSING The duties of a general medical nurse are many and present a challenge for the stu¬ dent with a quest for knowledge. The specialized skills of observation, assess¬ ment, assimilation, and action as well as actual experiences are acquired here. These skills will provide a solid founda¬ tion for still greater challenges to come. Surgical nursing offers concurrent theory and nursing experience in the care of the patient during the pre-operative, operative and post¬ operative phases of the surgical cycle. The student is assisted in acquiring knowledge of fundamental, physical and psychological needs of the patient. The student will plan and initi¬ ate nursing measures based on observation, scientific principles, and priority needs of the surgical patient. The areas of experience are the operating room, where the student learns the skills of the scrub nurse, circulator, re¬ covery room and general surgery wards. SURGICAL 72 r � 73 NURSING I k Psychiatric nursing offers concurrent theory and nursing experience in the area of psychiatry. The role of the nurse in establishing therapeutic nurse-patient relationships is the ma¬ jor focus of the course, with empha¬ sis on understanding behavior, both normal and disturbed. The one-to-one nurse-patient relationships and group activities are an integral part of psy¬ chiatric nursing. PS YCHIA TRIC 74 I j NURSING MA TERNITY AND Students learn to further expand their pro¬ fessional knowledge by caring for mater¬ nity patients. Maternity nursing presents a challenge every nursing student learns to value. The expectant mother is followed in all areas of her care. These are name¬ ly ante-partal care at family planning clinic, the delivery unit, and the post partal wards. All are vital experiences to the students desiring to give comprehen¬ sive care to the maternity patient. A child is born . . . The nursing student begins learning the skills necessary to care for the normal newborn as well as the premature infant requiring intensive care. The first days of the neonates life are the most important days he will live. The skilled observation and care of these newborns have prepared students to be not only good nurses but, perhaps, better mothers as well. 76 NEWBORN NURSING THE WONDERS OF 78 A NEWBORN 4 INTRODUCTION TO NURSING Introduction to nursing is the course in which the beginning freshmen learn the fundamentals of nursing by becoming acquainted with tech¬ niques and procedures involved in caring for the patient, as well as learning to communi¬ cate and interact with the patient as a unique individual. THE BEGINNING OF A DREAM 81 A SPECIAL WAY TO SAY IT, A CERTAIN WAY TO DO IT We sometimes wonder what we are doing here and where it all started. It’s instructors like Miss Gern- hauser, History of Nursing Instructor, that try to an¬ swer that question. History of Nursing is a brief scanning of nursing from the beginning of the profession to the present day. The course attempts to give students a general background of nursing as it was in the past, compared to what it is today, showing how techniques and procedures have de¬ veloped from the first nurse, Florence Nightengale. It points to the fact that nursing is an ever changing pro¬ fession and that though our technique may be muc h bet¬ ter than that of Florence Nightengale, we must always be open to new and better methods. 82 AM I REACHING FOR THE RIGHT STAR? 83 - ' I DIETS, CHEMICALS, MICROORGANISMS, BONES, MUSCLES AND EVEN PHARMACOLOGICAL PROBLEMS ARE ALL IN THE LIFE OF FRESHMAN SCIENCES U.N.O.

Whether a freshman at the threshold, a junior over the hill or a senior with all of this behind, we all face the future. We face that unpredictable tomorrow with its possibili¬ ties, hope, successes and failures, but most of all its hope. It will be difficult to go out into the world. It is hard to suddenly be faced with and held responsible for injustices, illness, poverty, hatreds people have for one another, the dread of wars, unstable todays and uncertain tomorrows. We cannot expect our parents to hand us a Utopia; neither can we expect to build one ourselves unless we are willing to risk being defeated by giving all or part of what we have, on just one slight hope that we can and will succeed. Now it ' s our turn . . . Will we choose to say Well, that ' s the way it ' s always been done. ? Will we let the other guy do ail the work? Will we close our eyes to the injustices all around us? I think not. We all have the potential to not only see the problem but to take action and and try to solve it. The ultimate answers are yours. Karen Leitz Editor _ -
