“I can't believe I'm finally finished.” tk r i] 7 a 4 ance “They gave the enema where??” 34 NSG e're to know everything in this book?...Right!’ “ “Let's split and hit Micky D's.” NURSING Allnursing knowledge embodies both dis- tributive nursing (a focus on understanding wellness, preventive maintenance, and health care), and episodic nursing (a focus on recognizing physical and emotional disequilibrium, supportive nursing care). We now offer the following three options: Two-Year requires five semesters (at least 60 credits) with graduation in May. Ad- vanced Placement Nursing is designed || | | | for those who are already Licensed Practi- cal Nurses. Being an LPN saves two se- mesters toward earning a degree as a registered nurse. Certain general educa- tion courses are pre-requisites for entry into the program. Evening Nursing is designed for students who have day-time commitments but some evening freedom. Because evening hours are so limited (compared to “all day”) earning a degree in nursing through the evening program will require four years, rather than the daytime, two years. |

ll x CAPPING CEREMONY The 1988 Capping Ceremony took place at the Seventh-day Aventist Church in Ket: ||| tering. Marjorie K. Lahm, Coordinator for Dayton School of Practical Nursing addressed |) the 76 students and the large audience in attendance. As the first year nursing students walked down the aisle they carried with them their + hopes and dreams for the future. They knelt to receive their cap or epaulettes and rose with new confidence. As each lamp was lit it rekindled thoughts of remarkable people ||! who paved the way for today’s nurses. As the Florence Nightengale Pledge was recited | the students examined themselves to see if they could meet the challenge. The flow of pride was upon the faces of the family and friends who attended. It is this | pride that will fortify the students to reach their goal and to excel at it. -Marsha Miller, First Year Nursing ee 36 NSG “ — ) Words of wisdom from our speaker, Marjorie Lahm.
