fits the needs Extended Training of the medical society The program can be overwhelming at times but I feel it is all worth it. - Debbie Netherly The Department of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences offers training for a Bache- lors Degree in nursing, along with an Associ- ate Degree in Radiologic Technology. The division of nursing is now offering a four-year program that will fit the ever de- manding needs of the medical society to- day. The program will be subdivided ac- cording to specialties: coronary and inten- sive care, operating and mental healthy children, childbearing, family, and adult. Elaine Blair, a sophomore from West Li- berty, KY, plans to enter the program which PRACTICAL experience in actual medical situations gives nursing students a Chance to use all the facts they learn in class. Carolyn Miller, a graduate assistant from Morehead, demonstrates an I. V. technique. PHOTO BY IACK SIMPSON 70 Nursing NURSING requires a lot of intense studying to keep up grades and stay in the program. Kathy Thomas, a ju- nior from Whitesburg, follows as she listens to the lecture. PHOTO BY IACK SIMPSON will be implemented in the fall of 1987. This study of nursing requires a 2.5 GPA and admits the forty students with the highest GPA. MSU has offered a two-year associate degree since 1971. The students who com- plete this degree can enter the four-year bachelors program as a junior to strengthen their education. Debbie Netherly is expanding her li- censed practical nurse tLPNi degree with the two-year associate degree. She feels she has learned a considerable amount of technology in her LPN training. uYou can make a better assessment of your patient after the two-year LPN program? She add- ed, WI! be glad to get back to work and apply the knowledge I've learned. Debbie feels the clinical work at the hospital has added to her education. iiMy advisory Ja- nice Brumagen, along with the other in- structors, are very helpful and make the students feel very welcome to come and discuss any problems we may have. iiThe program can be overwhelming at times, but it is worth it. At MSU the two-year associate degree in Radiologic Technology is very demanding. Lisa Malone, a junior from Creenup County, KY, is very involved in the program and her studies in X-ray. The students spend fifty percent of their time on internships in area medical facilities off-campus. According to Lisa, students take X-ray practice in diagnostic radiology, ultra-sound, nuclear medicine, filming in surgery, and dark room procedures. The admission procedure is rather limit- ing. The applicants must have a physical, be interviewed at a hospital, have a high rank- ing in their high school Class, as well as a composite ACT score of 17. Once admitted to the program Lisa said, uYou have to be determined to work. It really challenges your mind as you must do things by apply- ing certain procedures to different situa- tions. ul really enjoy working with people. That's the key to excelling in the nursing field.

TKEs have continuously supported the Kidney Foundation, the American Cancer Society and St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research, their national philanthropy. - In their biggest philanthropy effort this year, they raised $800 for St. Jude's by roll- ing a keg 25 miles from Hurricane, WV, to Marshall University's football stadium TKE also participated in the annual Great American Cleaneup, the Red cross Biood Drive and during Christmas, sponsored two 72 Fraternities ' SERGTA I needy children from the Angel Tree at Tra- demore Shopping Center. Each semester, both TKE active members and piedges vofunteered their time and en- ergy to the Life Care Center of Morehead, raking leaves, painting fences, and provid- ing other such handy work. When the 56 members aren't busy pro- viding community service work, they make sure they're involved in other campus ac- tivities. 1987 marked the birth of a new Creek event sponsored by TKE-a competition between each fraternity's little sister organi- zation. TKE hopes to make this an annual event to go along with Greek Week. With a successful 1986-87 behindthem, TKES plan on continuing their winning tradi- tion next year as welt.
