ER, ICU, regular floor work and disaster nursing were all a part of Ad- vanced Med-Surg. Instructors were Mrs. Ehrman, Miss Fincher, and Miss Huyck. Working with Dr. Vogel and all the per- sonnel of ER gave them an idea of what real emergency treatment entails. Of course, ICU was a new area too. They were able to work with modern machine- ry, see a critically ill patient make it, and increase nursing skills. Floor work gave the student an opportunity for review before ending school. They also had to plan for a disaster in Disaster Nursing. 28 GOOD RE IE FOR STATE I I r R 1 N l . 7 lj Above: In disaster nursing, students took a short trip to observe the actual scene, Below: Constant monitoring of fluids, equipment, medication, and the patient's vitals are a main part of ICU.

With Mrs. Thomas as instructor, team leading gave seniors a different and full schedule to follow. A wing of treat- ments andfor meds gave them few leisure ly moments, several panicky ones, and many new learning experiences. Rounds with doctors, team conferences to lead, routine tasks, and making sure all was done on time is team leading. Co-Charge gave rise to endless phone calls, making assignments and transcribing orders. The real importance of team leading was learned. 27

Working at the State school and the health center were two unforgettable experiences. A dif- ferent angle of nursing was learned. In- stead of changing dressings or passing meds, students were talking and listen- ing to patients as treatment measures. Understanding the reason behind one's be- havior could be used in nursing or in anything at anytime. N ill Above: The kitchen with it's coffee provides a break . 1 C- ' from the busy morning.
