Rat day was really a day to remember. Dressed in our feed sacks with rat tails and ears we marched over to the hospital to make spectacles of ourselves while loving every minute of it. We ended the day with a picnic and the junior class chose Vickie as the Best Rat. The next week we start- ed classes at O.D.C. We will never forget the bus rides and the day the bus broke down at the toll booth. November 8, 1967, our first day on the clinical unit, we were so proud of our uniforms but little did we know that we were the last class to wear them. Then came mid-semester and February 14, 1968, the day we received our first stripe. Every cap seemed to set a little higher Second semester we added Nutrition and Drugs and Solutions to our schedule. We saw two of our girls elected to District 1, S.N. A.V. offices. Bonnie became second vice-president and Jinny became parliamentarian. Wendy was crowned Miss Portsmouth. Then came June and this ended our college days. We all left on a much needed month’s vacation. Connie was elected our representative to the Alumni Dance. After Christmas we thought things had settled down; however, Brenda came down with the measles and we all had to get a measles shot. On February 13, 1969 we presented our long remembered variety show, The Juniors Do Their Thing . Later that month Bonnie was elected president of District 1, S.N. A.V. We had the month of March for a much appreciated vacation. March 31, 1969 we checked into the Jones Building at Springfield State Hospital, Sykesville, Maryland. We will always have fond memo- ries of C ward and all the patients. Nancy became our class field mouse because she was the first to be bopped on the head. We returned from Sykesville ready to start Medical - Surgical Nursing IV and to apply our newly ac- quired psychiatric knowledge to our nursing care. September 1969, finally arrived and we proudly added our new blue bands to our caps and started courses in Pediatrics and O.B. In November we presented our second variety show, Jest One More Time . Later that month at the Alumni dance, Bonnie was crowned queen and Brenda was senior representative. Now as graduation grows near we are trying to make plans for graduating on May 8, 1970. In front of our families and iriends, dressed in our white uniforms and caps with black bands we will receive our pins and diplomas. We will all have ambivalent feelings about leaving to start new lives as professional nurses.

Tidewater Community College Frederick Campus Through planned agreement and contract the School of Nursing annually purchases the Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, and English from the local college. The sciences are a background upon which the students build as they begin their clinical nursing courses. ■ History of nursing.

Basic concepts of nut- rition are utilized in the clinical nursing courses. Drugs and Solutions During the second quarter of the Freshman year, students are assisted by Mrs. Elsie Futrell in obtaining beginning skills in drug computations and administration. Pharmacology The course in Introduction to Pharmacology, taught during the summer of the Freshman year, presents a beginning study of dmgs dealing with sources, dosage, and actions. The therapeutic effect of drugs, the responsibility of the nurse in the administration of medications, and the need for continuous study of new dmgs are emphasized. After this introductary course. Pharmacology is integrated in all clinical nursing courses.

Learn- ing experiences are provided in the Operating Room, Recovery Room, Intensive Care Unit, Inhalation Therapy Department, Coronary Care Unit and Public Health Clinics. Previous knowledge of the biological and social sciaices assist the student to utilize problem solving approach in their understanding of nursing care techniques. Administration Building Our Arrival Housemothers Crownsville The Class of 1971 v as unique in the fact that we were sent to Crownsville State Hospital for a new setting in Psychiatric Nursing. We found Crownsville both exciting and educational. Being bewil- dered young juniors on a new experience we were soon assisted in adjusting through the efforts of Miss Farley and Mr. Ladues. Ter- minology that had once seemed so foreign to us became a daily habit. When our twelve weeks of experience was completed it was with regret and feeling of various emotions that we departed for our home school. Group or Family _ Classes Continue Big Saturday Night Work Must Go On Maternal and Child Health OBSTETRICS MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH NURSING Through this course the students have an opportunity to study family relationships and how they are influenced by the maternity cycle, growth and development of the child and deviations from normal. Environmental aspects which influence the behavior pattern of the growing child are reiterated throughout the course. The students are oriented to the individ- ual rather than procedure in an attempt to broaden their acceptance of individuals interacting in the family. Community agencies are used to further observations outside the hospital setting. Leadership Skills MRS. KING: Instructor MRS.
