.. .. ...QYY-.u, , -.-.. V.--. Floating down to X-ray, the probies met an- other well known personality, CAROLYN GETTY. How men with shiny domes love her since she solved all their problems for them. On the way to the basement we met IERRY BENEDICT. She was crying just as though her heart would break. She had just been fired since the diet kitchen had been taken over by the MGT nurse because of food in pill form. Next the group came to the new Health Service. Yes sir, since SHARON NOBLE has been on the job everything has been changed. Temp now-1030! Second floor held many interests for the class. One of the first friendly faces they saw was that of SHARON TOM. Busily filling out an incident report, she took time to explain to the group the importance of reading the medicine cards carefully. Somehow the pills got mixed and in- stead of giving a patient GB. dye she had given him six pills that were a seven course meal. The poor patient had a blow-out. Everyone was eager to tour the Delivery Room. Last week DR. PAT TUSING helped deliver IANICE WATROUs's third child. At first no one seemed to notice the new baby until one day VVILINIA ROBERTS, supervisor in nursery A, heard it say bow-wow.', She sent the baby to PAT LYON, Pediatric supervisor, who is doing re- search on pre-natal influence. janice Watrous stated she had been baby sitting for her Vet- erinarian husband with the puppies of Mut- nik 6 months prior to delivery. Following the OB Department, they visited the Post Partum ward. Walking by an over- crowded room they heard the voice of JANET HUSTON who had just had her thirty-first baby in 10 years! ! l You figure it out, we haven't been able to yet! Next the group went up to third floor and there they saw an amusing sight. JOYCE ENGLE jumping gayly about the hall with a butterfly net, When asked how she enjoyed her job she indig- nantly informed the group that she WAS NO LONGER WORKING HERE, but was residing in 342. Suddenly the class witnessed a heart chilling scene. Sure enough there were three very stern looking instructors CNORMA SHEAR, DORIS POUL- SON and BETTY BIGGERSTAFFD hovered around a television set. Closer inspection showed it not to be an ordinary TV for there was a student nurse going about her duties with linen scattered about the room and the patient slowly making his bed. No sir, this was no ordinary school of nursing. Due to the elevators being in use, the group took the back stairs up to 4th floor. On the way they saw two very strangely dressed nurses. QCONNIE FISHER and DEVILLA DEAN, wearing jet shoes and carrying spy glasses. They were very obviously hospital detectives in disguise. Seems they were looking for some missing stu- dents. NVhile on 4th floor and being shown the clean utility room, they met some of the head nurses. . . . lVlAR-IORLE SLLLS and SALLY SKINNER on ONE of their many coffee breaks. They were very happy to take time out to show the girls around though. One point of interest was a very tragic situation. It was explained as follows: NANCY CLELAND, who worked in the Special Care Room soon after graduation had stuck her head through a porthole in an iron lung . . . and no one has been able to remedy the situation. However, the hospital gives her reduced rates for occupying the same room longer than 40 years. After touring the rest of the 20 floors of Spaceview, the group boarded the hospital's private helicopter run by the former AUDREY KUHN, who learned to fly from her husband, and journeyed to the hospital's new floating floor. It is the only one like it in the U.S. and is es- pecially equipped to care for space accidents. Both the floor and helicopter were donated by DOROTHY LAZOFF who retired many years ago but runs her own Pediatric ward at home. After the 20 minute ride the group was met by CAROL STUMP-head nurse on the new department. She explained the ultra modern equipment and its use. WVho should they find in the halls but NANCY LENON. At the time she was just taking time out from her coffee break to mop the hall. Years before Nancy had decided to become a maid because of the advantages this job had to offer. Other registered maids on this floor were lVlARTHA BURRIS and PEG BURNWORTH who had just finished their break, and were working on the magazine, Outer Space Loverf, Carol intro- duced the class to CAHOLYN GREGG, a patient on the space ward who had been suffering from a strange disease. She contacted it while making a trip to the moon because she ate too much green cheese. just before going back to the dorm the girls ran into PAM WEBER. It seems Pam loved good old PMSN so much that she comes back every day just to breathe in the air. Yes, this has been an exciting and tiring day for these girls, but one they will never forget!!
