SOMETHING NEW IN NURSING We are very proud To announce the establishment of the new Centralized Lecture Program for nursing students in Saskatche¬ wan. This is a new venture in Canada and is unique in that it is the only one of its kind. It has been evolved from the best features of successful experiments in the United States. All high school students will be particularly interested in how this will affect them when they enter training in one of Saskatchewan ' s Schools of Nursing. Up to the present, students have spent three years in the Hospital School of Nursing. Now there has been a change: Students en¬ rolled in eight Saskatchewan schools of nurs¬ ing will spend the first 16 weeks of their three-year course either at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon or Regina College in Regina. Here on the University and Col¬ lege campuses students will receive instruc¬ tion by highly qualified teachers in the follow¬ ing subjects: Anatomy Physiology Microbiology Nutrition Psychology and Mental Health History of Nursing Sociology Nursing Science Principles and Application of Health Teaching Presentive Medicine I Elementary Pharmacology English Physical Education. The facilities of the University and the College, including teachers, classrooms, lab¬ oratories and library, have been made avail¬ able tc our student nurses. The purpose of this new program is to provide all students in these eight schools with a high level of instruction by well quali¬ fied teachers. The full time nurse-teaching staff of the Centralized Lecture Program in each centre is well qualified and large enough to be able to give considerable attention to each student on an individual basis. This program incurs no greater cost to the student than the former program at the hospitals. The students are housed near the campus and have their meals provided. This program is being financed in part by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and in part by the Saskatchewan Government. Classes begin the end of January and the end of August each year. The first class was admitted Jan., 1953. 61
