i ' ! - CLASS HISTORY fiS , • !• [• |« September 20, 1982 — Thirty-one potential LPN’s entered Bessie B. Anderson’s School of Nursing. Each of us had our own reason for applying, and we soon found out what was in store for us. Those first nights of adjustment to the homework and to our classmates was an experience we will never forget. The word “tolerance” became very familiar to us during the year. First impressions of everyone were soon forgotten as each student’s true personality was unveiled. We found the saying, “Never judge a book by it’s cover”, to be true. November was a month of adjustment for each of us for many reasons. Getting used to wearing our uniforms was one of them. Many moments were spent looking in the mirror getting used to our new professional image. The bazaar, which took place in December, was a success. Hard work, as well as much of our time was put into this hectic project. As the days in January slowly passed by, our first pre-clinical evaluations were given. Anxiety was felt by each of us and encouragement was offered by all so that we might meet the next evaluations without having to say good-bye and good luck. May came at a snail’s pace, but inevitably it came. The convention which was held in Staunton, Va. was the ultimate experience that everyone thought it would be. Throughout the year everyone was warned to keep their uniforms, shoes and hair clean and neat. Each of us was reminded of this now and then, but the effort proved to be worthwhile when we compared our appearance with the other students at the convention. ] June led to many new experiences such as choosing a gentle partner for that apprehensive and painful adventure of giving and receiving our first injections. June also held in store for us a tour of Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg. No one was quite sure which of us might be committed. We got a longer look at the Chesapeake Bay than we expected. Our bus broke down and we had to wait for another one to arrive. Aside from this, the trip was quite enjoyable. The long awaited month of August finally rolled around. We now had time for relaxation as well as recalling many memories. We had a beach party at Assateague and some of us came back looking like “lobsters”. The in¬ structors treated us to a marvelous dinner and night on the town which was well deserved by all. • 1 • 1 Finally the big day of graduation arrived and we were all glad that school was finally over, yet we were also a little sad as 23 good friends were about to go their separate ways. Each of us was left with many warm memories of the times shared together. Now that graduation is over, our one big worry is the State Board Exam which will be taken in Octo ber. This will be the grand finale of our training to determine if we retained the knowledge bestowed upon us by our instructors. £££ 20
