Practical urses are Essential to the Health Team Practical nursing provides an op- portunity for men and women of all ages to acquire skills and knowl- edge that will enable them to both physical and mental comfort to the sick and injured. Practical nurses are essential and important mem- fx bers of the health team, prepared to carry out nursing duties, under supervision, that are relatively free from scientific complexities. The Practical Nurses Education course is a one year program consisting of three, sixteen week periods. Clini- cal experience is obtained in Lu- theran Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and an observation period in nurs- ing homes.
