The Department of Nursing Bulletin lists sixty-eight Officers of Instruction who represent twenty- five schools of nursing. They range in status from supervisor to professor of nursing. Their innumerable positions occupy every possible clinical and administrative area. Now we know who the faculty is. More important perhaps is the consideration, what is the faculty? Faculty members invade every aspect of our existence — they are a dynamic factor in our P.H. way of life. They plan the curriculum which structures the foundation of our knowledge. They struggled with us through our first service — the blood pressure we really could not hear very well; the enema we wore because we forgot to clamp the tubing; the I.M. that we were sure penetrated bone. They were there with us during our first bout of evenings and nights — the emergency admission who was less apprehensive than we; the keys left in the medicine closet door; the wrong doctor put on page. They cringed as we blithely contami- nated our way through the O.R. — the punctured rubber gloves, gowning doctors who couldn ' t stand still, the interminable errands while circulating. They calmed us during our first contractions in the labor room — the hours of checking fetal heartbeats, timing the length and strength of contractions, the thrill of a baby ' s first cry. They re- assured us during our first baby bath — the bottles we warmed; the infants we bubbled; the toddlers we coaxed; the I.V. drops we counted. They humored us during our symptomatology records — when we analyzed everyone we met, endlessly discussed inappropriate responses, and con- vinced ourselves that there was no such thing as a stable personality. They guided us through our misgivings as we pounded the streets of the city in our navy blues. In innumerable areas their presence is felt and appre- ciated. They act as student counselors and class advisors; they sit in on cabinet and board meetings; they participate in panels and projects, serve on committees, and act as hostesses; they are on call and available to us at all times; they entertain us and join us in entertaining others; they turn out to root for our team, and they listen to our gripes and complaints. Yes, the faculty is more than just an educating body — it is composed of a group of vital yet understanding people who discipline us sometimes, guide us often, encourage us always.
