MEDICAL-SURGICAL NURSING During the senior year of our nursing education we take an eleven week course of medical-surgical nursing. 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

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! After a while most either loved or hated their | experience at Butner but none can easily forget it. Mrs. Marjorie Hawkin ee Instructor “ Ms. Linda Slaugi | dastre 30
