Presbyterian St Lukes Hospital School of Nursing - Alpha Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 82 of the 1961 volume:

Alpha 1961 is a book of meaningful doorways. To the student nurse these doors represent an expansion of knowledge — portals to the exciting, to the challenging, and to the unknown. No one can express the individual feelings that one has upon embarking on an experience beyond these doors. Our story attempts to recapture some of the experiences and thoughts we have had as we passed through these doorways. It is our hope that you will remember with gratification and satisfaction your own per- sonal experiences. And so we dedicate Alpha 1961 to the student nurse.

Supervision insures the safe application of knowledge. PI We develop skills which enable us to make a better evaluation of the patient ' s condition. We discover that co-operation enhances communication. Page 7 We share the fulfillment of a long awaited promise. Pags 9 We find that even the strongest sometimes seek strength in solitude— away from the pressing crowds. We encourage the patient to participate. We recognize both the obstacles and the advancements on the road back to society. Page 16 We are responsible for continuing healing initiated by a surgeon ' s hands. Page 17 We learn more about families as we care for their children. Page 23 We decide how best to present our experiences through pictures and print. We appreciate the leadership shown by those who did not hesitate in making this yearbook a reality.
