ADMINISTRATION ANNIVERSARY-A time to stop and glance backward-to focus on the present and to attempt to envision the future. Our heritage is rich-the present too fleeting, but the horizons are challenging, exciting and inspiring. Yesterday, the 72 to 90 hour week for nursing students to observe and practice nursing in a rel- atively simple society-today, a program of organized learning and clinical practice in a transitional, confus- ing and more complex society-but tomorrow, a more dynamic program of learning and practice requiring deeper understandings and insight with data analyses, monitoring devices, computers, conveyors, and ad- vances in treatments, medications and specialized care beyond our most vivid imagination. The school of nursing has in its brief history instituted changes in the school curriculum and pro- gram in an attempt to keep pace with social, scientific and technological changes. For the future one can proiect more significant and dynamic changes in more rapid succession. In this anniversary issue it is inspiring to reflect upon some key words that show the changing concepts in nursing through the years-training, 24 hour duty, black stockings, high starched collars and long sleeves, licensing, state approved schools, Curriculum Guide, correlation and integration, collegiate schools, clinical practice and theory, accreditation, ancillary nursing personnel, professionalization, transition, dilemma, diagnosing nursing needs, community college nursing programs, nursing care plans, patient-centered nursing care, team nursing, progressive patient care, the nursing specialist, and social interaction. All this has occurred in the last seventy years of nursing history. lsn't it both thrilling and satisfying to be a part of the nursing profession? Mrs. Movene Ponas, R.N. Director of Nursing 63
