During lunch hour, the TV room is full of people watching the soaps, especially The Young and the Restless. The Young and the Restless Gone, dreams of the past, gone with a love that moved too fast.

When we al come in we have dreams of becoming replicas of Ms. Nightingale. Soon we earned that there was no way to be the perfect nurse, so we had to earn to be the best we could be. After the skits of that first week gave an idea of what was to come, one could hear small crys of “Mama where are you?” throughout the halls. Upon arrival for registration of the freshmen, Some of the students are seen here, watching the skits being they were greeted with this poster. performed.

Finding time to lounge around the pool was often rare, but Jenny Brewer, Sarah O'Connor, Pam Dickens and Dottie Jo Miller seem to have found time.

Why did we love then run away? So little time, so much left to say, and now it’s gone. After we've been here a while we might go back home to look up the old crowd only to find that things are no longer the same. We somehow managed to set aside 17 or 18 years of our lives only to start another. Only this time we have just three years to do it in. Scanning the dorm, cookouts, and poolside for prospective friends becomes a frequent pastime. At our cook-out at Bennett Place, Mrs. Hilda Holloway inspects the cooking done by the Juniors. Springing from the diving board Dottie Jo Miller attempts to do a flip while June Lane looks on. Volleyball is a good game to work up appetites while wait- ing for the food to get done.

Three years ends up being a very short time. in this time we must learn to take on the total responsibility for ourselves. Many took advantage of fraternity parties at area universities, our own mixers, and late nights sitting in the dorm just talking. Dressed as a pumpkin, Julia Upchurch gets a refill.

Your restless dreams will lead the way; Now that our dream of getting here has come true, we must dream again so that we will have goals to reach. And after each dream becomes a reality, dream again. We don't have forever, only today with no guarantee of tomorrow. So with a little luck and a ot of work maybe we will reach our final goal. As part of their work Joan Kozel and Jeneverette Howard are checking the Code 5 cart. o dream your dreams and live for each day while you are young. Raggedy Ann Is surrounded by all of her treasures that she has collected over the 3 years that she’s been here. Getting together with friends and talking is the present form of entertainment, as seen here with Nina Vincent, Kay Parker, and Clara Butler. A look into the past finds Bonnie Gail Stubbs and her brother taking time out to pose after a morning of play. 11 CTIVITIES AND Rose West, Sherry Anderson, Joy Hill, and Jewell Harrell gather around Mrs. Thomas to say their good-byes. Mrs. Isabeile Jones Thomas or “Izzie” as she was known to most of us here, came to work for Watts at the Staff House on Broad Street in June 1945. At that time she was working part-time as she had some young children at home that also needed her care. She worked at the Staff House until 1968 when it was closed. From there she came to Wyche House until her retirement in August 1975. She had worked 30 years for Watts. zzie meant a Jot to many students past and present. She shared a lot of memo- ries with us and as she retired a small part of our memories went with her. Unwrapping her gift, Mrs. Isabelle Thomas seems quite pleased with the robe.

This first hospital was l o- cated on West Main Street, but by 1909 this facility was inadequate to meet the demands of the public, so George Watts had the present hospital known as Watts built. The first graduate from Watts School of Nursing, Ethe! Clay, can- stituted the entire graduating class in 1897. Admission requirements into the school had not been established and the most qualified high school applicants were selected. The training program for students was increased from two years to three years in 1908 while Mary Wyche was the administrator of the hospital and the school. The eight-hour duty for student nurses was instituted in 1914. After working eight hours the students then went to class. Most of the nursing was done by students wearing yards and yards of petticoats, skirts, leg-o-mutton sleeves with tight-fitting cuffs, aprons with bibs and high-top shoes so the ankles could not be seen. The teaching staff consisted of the superintendent of nurses, her assistant, if she had one, and the staff doctors. It was not until 1926 that the first full- time instructor was employed. Because of the lack of graduate nurs- es, advanced student nurses were assigned special duty with a patient and the hospital was responsible for their work. This cost the patient fess than for a graduate nurse. In 1929 nursing students 4 Id classroom. worked approximately 70-80 hours a week. The freshmen and junior ath, students were paid a stipend of $10 a month and the seniors re- ceived $15 a month. However, in 1931 during the Depression these payments were discontinued. It was at this time that Senior students served as head nurses until 1932 when the first Watts graduate staff nurses were hired. These nurses earned $25 a month plus room and board, and they worked 56 hours a week, relieving students in the pharmacy, on ambulance call, and scrubbing in the Operating Room and Delivery Room. The hours of work were reduced to 48 hours by 1943 and it was not until March 1, 1953 that the 40 hour work week was instituted. There have been many changes in the school over the years. In 1973 the school had its first male graduate. The first married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Kornegay, graduated in 1974. To date the school has had 1,759 graduates. The enrollment of students as of August 1975 is 184 with 18 full-time faculty, one librarian, one recruiter and one director. Freshmen students attend North Carolina Central University for the basic science courses and English. The juniors average about 16-20 hours a week in clinical and the seniors average 20-24 hours a week. The clinical experience for the freshmen aver- ages 4-8 hours per week. As of June 22, 1971 Watts Hospital joined the Durham County Hospital Corporation, which was formed for a consolidated health program for the citizens of Durham. Watts Hospital is to be phased out as an acute care hospital and by 1976 Durham County General Hospital will take over this service. 14 CO AHO OO FOO IE iS agen Lino fae yi td ard a i eee | they | Bod. foe Re ar ye feet eo 4f fe the, Eve lhe, Lats 400 - i q 3 = J 4 if Wg ; [bor oui hherr-T 4, Hick fEC Bud (ka ew (SGC ie MAN CRASHES THRU CEILING AT NCCU Have you ever been sitting in class and seen two feet come crashing through the ceiling? If not, the Freshmen can give you the first hand story. There we were listening to Dr. Mueller give the most interesting lecture of the year when suddenly there was a loud crash! Students scattered with screams and laughter. We look up at the ceiling and ail we see are two legs dangling. “What has happened?” you may ask. An electrician has fallen through the ceiling. Dr. Mueller, shaking nervously, immediately dismisses class, the electrician unharmed pulls himself back up through the ceiling and we all continue with our usual day at North Carolina Central.

Well... the freshmen have finally caught on. The really funny thing is that there was no exaggeration. Have you ever given an enema with a douche tip? Ask Mrs. Anderson if she knows the difference? What happens when you are tightening a draw sheet of an occupied bed and suddenly find it unoccupied? You turn around and listen to Mrs. Pierce say, “You're exposing the patient!” You think that’s bad, wait until Mrs. Rogers corners you in the conference room and tells you that the thermometer you just put in Mr. Jones’ mouth was a rectal thermometer. And on your first interview with a patient, you get one with laryngitis. “Gee Ms. Lipscomb, you never taught us sign language in communications!” Dear Ms. Reinhart —— was that aJew ar Catholic that | just served roast beef and coffee to for lunch? Be- lieve it or not, the poor freshmen came across all of this in Funda- mentais 110... But the best is yet to come!

Maternity nursing under Anne Carroll... What can you say? A nutrition work sheet and study. A ward list to define. A tremendous drug card list, 3 bibs a week, not to mention the case study and all the process recordings that go along with it. A fabulous time in labor and delivery with Mrs. Gould, who knows her stuff. Tests that only come once a week. Most of all, maternity nursing is learning about the beautiful process of human reproduction. A new arrival in OB, but no it’s not a new baby but a new instructor, Mrs. Eleanor Gould. Even post-clinical conference can be fun — sometimes. 23 24 PEDIATRICS At CP Hospital Cynthia Phelps and Pam Tingen play games with the children.

Nursing 310 or Leadership is an eleven week course that is taken during the senior year. It involves the learning of team nursing including its advantages and disadvantages. The philosophy of team nursing is that nursing and all its goals are achieved by all the staff working together. The main ob- jective of team nursing is of course, better individualized patient care. In learning to become an efficient and effective leader, the student must accept the responsibility of team leader and of medication nurse. On alternate weeks when the student is team leader she is responsible for assigning staff to patients, taking off doctors orders, making patient rounds and overall working closely with the head nurse’s supervision in assuring better patient care. As medication nurse, the student is surrounded with the task of maintaining all IV's, giving all patient medications for her team as safely as possible, and charting medications as given. The clinical area is challenging for the senior student since she is faced with more responsibility than ever beofre. During the eleven weeks she evolves from a shy and scared student to a responsible and respected leader. Thus, in becoming a professional nurse, this experience is necessary and beneficial to each senior student. ee S$ Discontinuing medications is part of Mike Keaton’s job as medication nurse on Ward E. mnie : .

This course includes rotation in_ the Emergency Room and Intensive Care Units. We found this part of the course very interesting and beneficial. We encountered crucial and life-threatening situations while working in these clinical areas of the hospital. When we were not in the special units we cared for critical and terminal patients on the wards. n this, we learned to deal with death, ourselves, and with our patients. Many times we were faced with critical decisions which affected our patient’s lives. Working in the Medical Intensive Care Unit, Les Chalmers regulates an V as part of his daily activities. In the Surgical Intensive Care Unit Cathye Williams and Lana Collins check over the equipment. 28 Having finished her charting, Mary Deering looks over her patient’s ab reports. gaan’ eo 3 age x GO oe ae PAS) PSYCHIATRY Leaving Watts to go to John Umstead Hospital for our psychiatric training was very difficult for many of us. This field was totally different from anything that we had experienced before. The first few weeks of the course we spent earn- ing about ourselves. This included facing up to our own fears and limitations. As time passed we learned to deal with our own emotions and most of our : _ patients, but those process recordings seemed never : There is always a lot to t. ending!

Deborah Lee Dorsey East Flat Rock, N. C. Lynn Godwin Eubanks Durham, N. C. Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or en- vious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about in- justice, but rejoices when truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him. All things are possible to him who believes; they are less difficult to him who hopes; they are easy to him who loves; and they are simple to any who do all these. Glenda Marks George Durham, N. C.

EACH OWN With people coming here from all across our nation from California to Florida and from all regions of North Carolina, Hendersonville in the mountains to More- head City on the coast, we have students with all types of interests and hobbies. Some of the many different interests include babysitting for Dr. Currie, partici- pating in sports such as volleyball, basketball, and tennis. Then for some marriage is a big interest both for those already married and those who are still looking. Parties are another major interest around Watts. Fraternity houses, upstairs at the Ivey Room, Charlie Goodnights, the Hilton and the Elks Lodge are just a few of the places frequented by Watts students. Many of us even try our hand at growing plants. This however is sometimes quite discouraging in our 110° dorm, but we keep on trying. There are many more interests that we have failed to mention or picture, some very sensible and others quite strange but — to each his own... Peggy West and Sheila Murphy demonstrate one of the favorite in- terests around here — watching the Young and Restless. 82 ee EE OL PM bis QE Ue ee MELLEL OLED AMA IOVP MELO MEER Mere, PALA POR PO Q DBE ee, Dy Eating is one interest that everybody seems to enjoy.

First you have to decide where youre going to get the tree. That’s easy. Use the one we had at the Christmas Dance. Secondly there’s the matter of transporting the tree. Oh that’s easy TREE too. Get someone who has a big car and is willing to help. So here we all go heading for the Christmas tree at the Elks Lodge. We get there and what do we find but that we needed a two-ton truck to haul the tree. t is bigger than we imagined. Has it grown since the dance? We figure and we ponder about how to get this enormous tree back to Watts in a mediocre sized Impala. We decide it TRIMMING cant be done, so the moving of the tree is postponed until the next day when we can get a truck. Well we get the tree unloaded at Watts and have to cut it in half. It is soon mounted on a stand and is ready for decorating. The boxes of Christmas decorations are hauled out and everyone begins to join in the fun of decorating our Christmas tree. After it is decorated we all sit down and munch on freshly popped popcorn and Koolaid. In the meantime someone has pulled out a guitar and is strumming a few chords of Christmas carols and everyone joins in singing — a typical Christmas at Watts. Popping the 2 pounds of popcorn for the tree decorators can be quite a chore, as Cathy Martin and Janice Chamelin seem to have found out. After the tree has been set up, Sharon Stewart gets out the vacuum cleaner and gets to work picking up those needles. Getting the lights on the tree is the first job and the hardest when trimming the Christmas tree. he tree has been decorated, Ruthie Wiseman tar out and Kristina Glasco and Shelley Singe er to sing Christmas carols. As Sheila Murphy hands out the ornaments she inspects each one individually. 85 CHRISTMAS CAROLING AND A VISIT FROM SANTA CLAUSE Lead by Florence Nightingale (Peggy West), we headed for the halls of the hospital to sing Christmas carols in the hopes of bring- ing a little Christmas spirit to the patients and staff. Carrying lighted candles, we proceeded to carol throughout the hospital. At times we found ours eves moving so slowly that we wondered if the candles would burn out before we finished. At other times we had to almost run down the hall to keep up with the group. After all the wards had finally been covered we filed out the front of the hospital to stand around the tree in the circle to sing a few more songs. It was then time to go back to Hill House to see Santa Claus and to get the gifts that had been placed under the tree by the students. Santa Claus and his helper scon showed up and were greeted with a big round of applause. Plowing his way through the crowd, Santa made it to the tree and began flinging out the presents, with some help from his assistant, Dr. Meyer. When the gifts were distributed, Santa (Dr. Area) was presented with a gift from the student body. He then left us with a hardy Ho! Ho! Ho! Our wonderful (good-looking) Santa (Dr. Area) shows off his gift from the student body. As part of her duties as President of the student body, Peggy West dresses as Florence Nightingale to lead us in Christmas caroling. 86 Santa shows a little special attention to a freshman student, Darlene Jones. Santa and his helper seem to enjoy their talk with Van Umstead. Karen Williams, Janice Chamelin and Joanna Southern show off the gifts that Santa gave them. 87 CHRISTMAS While the band takes a break, everyone takes time out to rest their feet. Dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, Pam Tingen and Carol Norton pass out candy canes. 83 DANCE On December 5, 1975, members of the junior class gathered at the Elks Lodge to put together the decorations for the evenings dance. They began by setting up the giant Christmas tree. They added holly, pine cones, and candles for the tables, then, topped it all off with moons, stars and mistletoe dangling from the ceiling. Later that evening after everyone had arrived, the real party began. Around nine o'clock the Armageddon Band began to play. It took a while before anyone would take the initiative to begin dancing, but it soon got underway with a little Bumping and Hustling. For those who weren't dancing there was plenty of food and drink furnished by the freshmen. SEB PMB. About mid-way through the evening the party was honored with a surprise from the Juniors. The surprise was none other than Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. They made their rounds about the tables handing out candy canes to everyone. As the night wore on couples slowly drifted home. At about one o'clock Armageddon ended the evening with one last song which brought the dance to a close with many having had a good time.

Helen Steiner Rice ANNIE The presentation of Annie has been a tradition at Watts since 1943. It was in this year that a senior student won Annie at the State Fair. This senior having no roommate of her own, chose to share Annie by passing her on after her graduation to the two ciosest roommates from the up-coming Senior class. Since that first presentation, Annie has become a symbol of congeniality and understanding between two chosen roommates. This year, Julie Bailey and Sharon Stewart had the honor of accepting the presentation of Annie. Having just received Annie, Julie Bailey and Sharon Stewart pose for a_ picture with her. Annie was an honor and a great surprise, although there were other room- mates who were just as deserving. We thank the class for allowing Annie to dwell with us for a year. We will always cherish the memories of living together and of sharing Annie.
