WATTS HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PHILOSOPHY We believe nursing is that phase of the total health program which concerns itself with the direct care of the patient through application of scientific principles and human understanding. It encompasses the patient from all areas of community life and involves the sharing of meaningful information with patients and their families so that they may grow in understanding of how to care for themselves. We interpret a patient to mean any person sick or well who requires the services of a nurse. This implies prevention of illness, care of the ill and rehabilitation after illness. We believe education is a gradual, progressive, continuing process of evaluating and changing beliefs and con- cepts to meet the needs of our modern society. We believe education takes place in direct relation to the in- dividual’s acceptance of change as a pre-requisite for the accomplishment of goals. Nursing education enables the student to acquire knowledge and understanding of basic scientific principles necessary to identify and solve problems of persons who need nursing service. We believe learning is a continuous and individual process of change in behavior which is influenced by the learner’s previous experience and present environment. We believe learning is enhanced and more effective when applied in selected nursing situations which are planned to meet the needs of the student. We believe it is the responsibility of the faculty to plan and implement the course of study, including making assignments, providing supervision in the clinical laboratory, and evaluating the effectiveness in terms of stated goals. The student is encouraged to assume the responsibility for his her own learning and to evaluate his her performance as a means for continuous growth and development. This is a progression from one level of learning to a higher level. We believe this p hilosophy may be interpreted to mean, on completion of the program, the student will be com- petent to evaluate the needs of patients and know who within the therapeutic team is needed to meet a specific need and to make a plan for patient care accordingly. This is the function of a beginning staff nurse. WATTS HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING DURHAM, N.C. 27705 1976-1977 SUMMER OF '76 There is a season and a time for all things bright and dark, light and heavy, warm and cold: a time for holding fast and letting go, a time for gathering up and casting, a time for bringing in and giving out, a time for greetings and a time for partings. Oh, let me attune with seasons and with the changing time of things. Seven nurses surround their treasured and well-remembered summer patient. At the watermelon party, Sherry Johnson was having a good time till that little watermelon seed got stuck! Ms. Lougheed and Rivka Jay enjoy cool, refreshing watermelon slices at the pool side. Dear old Watts! FRESHMEN ORIENTATION Re Lorna Anderson PATIENTLY waits while Patsy McFarland registers her. (1) Big sisters are so nice to have around your first day. (2) Where are we going to put all this stuff—in this room? (3) Four exhausted freshmen after their first day at Watts. (4) Assisting in the registration, Miss Smith and Ms. Lougheed. (5) Dear Freshmen, Just a little note to say welcome and good luck (you will need it during ALL three years.) We are glad you came and hope you will stay a while. Love, Juniors, Seniors. STUDENT LIFE Those crazy freshmen, always trying to get out of studying for their anatomy and micro. tests. Preparing supper requires three helping hands as shown by Nancy Bigelow, Robin Hayes, and Marsha Mann. An after noon at the poolside, erases the morning’s clinical experience. Wyche House clowns, Barbara Little and Linda McMillan, dance the halls at night. Trouble is laughter as soon as it’s done, Danger is joy when the battle is won, The night is forgotten when morning’s begun, So don’t stay too long at your wailing. The rough road is dreary to travel but you Will look back and smile when your journey is through, You may doubt this today, but you'll find it is true, So don’t fret too much when you're failing. The care which now burdens you down will grow light, Your doubts and your fears will soon slip out of your sight, And you'll laugh at them all when you've put them to flight, So don’t be too gloomy about them. oe Freshmen at a Student Body meeting after a long hard day Debra Steedly and Edie Johnson kiss and make up on the porch at Hill House. of classes.

Students at Watts enjoy eating as much as they enjoy studying for As much as we hated to see her go, Mrs. Ruby Pierce left in late September and took with her memories of many wonderful class lectures, practice labs, clinical experiences and counseling sessions. She was and always will be a dedicated and compassionate nurse, caring beyond what is expected of nursing and then giving much more. We will never forget this remarkable woman. Again we say — We love you! ACTIVITIES The leftovers from the ice- cream party for Freshmen given by the Seniors. Freshmen wait in lines at the covered dish supper given by the Juniors.

If there’s someone you can sit with And not need to say a word, If there’s someone you can trust To keep each confidence she’s heard ... If there’s someone you can think more of As each year comes to an end... You’re a very lucky person For you've found a SPECIAL FRIEND. D. }. Faulhaber 17 CHRISTMAS DANCE ioe} Se CAROLING AND TREE-TRIMMING Have you ever seen a Christmas tree cause so much confu- sion as the one at Hill House? Each year, volunteers search throughout the community for the best tree possible and haul it to the dorm where other students are waiting to trim it so pretty. Boxes and boxes of colorful and unusual orna- ments are opened and soon the tree begins glittering and shining like a Christmas tree should. After the hard work is done, a tree-trimming party follows and we sample cookies and punch. Another Watts tradition occurs around this time also — Christmas caroling. In the past we donned our student un- iforms and sang carols throughout the hallowed halls of Watts Hospital. This year, though, we were able to sing in the new DCGH halls and corridors. It is quite an experience to walk the halls with our candles lit singing the old familiar carols. Silent Night — Holy Night saan Sa Pippa hd ay maid ee ree te With candles lit, we sing to the visitors who sing joyfully with us. As the giant spruce goes up in Wyche House, Barbara Ryder secures the tree in place. 20 While Debra Steedly hangs the tinsel, Cathy Strickland Nell Cash places her ornaments very carefully and seems and Ella Sue Chappell steady the ladder for her. Other pleased with the results. students watch from the sidelines. This year the Freshmen put up their own tree in Wyche House. From the pictures above it looks like great fun, but we sure did miss them to help with the Hill House tree. Of course, some Freshmen came to the party afterwards — just like them, to be always hungry. All-in-all it was a very merry Christmas! 21 26 27 28 CONGRATULATIONS!! — to JoAnn Duck and Lorraine Jessee, two Freshmen who were selected as winners in the WRAL ‘101 Original Valentine Contest’’ on February 9, 1977. The girls worked many hours in composing their valentine which was chosen as one of the best original submissions. Soon after their notification as win- ners, the girls received a letter from the General Sales Manager of WRAL, Eddie Weiss, stating that they had won a special steak dinner from Le Chateau. The dinner on Sunday Feburary 13, would include onion soup, prime rib, salad bar, a special dessert and beverages and all of the other winners of the contest would be in- cluded also. We never know what talents Watts students are capable of ... My dear friend cupid, help me please. My heart is so heavy and I’m down on my knees. Valentine’s Day is near, and I’m so blue. Here is why, I’m coming to you. They say our backgrounds are not the same. Yet we cannot feel their shame. Our stolen moments are filled with such splendor. When we embrace, so warm and tender.: Though some may try to keep us apart, | cannot deny what | feel in my heart. Oh cupid, | fear our love’s run amuck. For | am a frog and she is a duck.

Classes consist of practicing procedures, studying diseases and phar- macology, understanding the “why’s’, but most important of all, ad- justing to the new environment. After these weeks, a freshman looks forward to her first patient with excitement and apprehension. As each clinical experience goes by one becomes more self-assured. By learning basic techniques, the freshmen initiate a framework on which they will build for the next three years. Ne: piers | J 43 44 WHAT IS A STUDENT NURSE?? STUDENT NURSES come in all sizes, shapes, and caps. They are found everywhere — underneath, on top of, running around, jumping over, or slithering past patients’ beds. Doctors yell at them; head nurses criticize them; interns tolerate them; residents overlook them; mothers worry about; and patients love them!!! A STU- DENT NURSE is courage under a cap, a smile in snowy white, ambition in a starched uniform, and energy that is endless. Just when she is gaining poise and prestige, she drops a glass, breaks a syringe, or steps on a doctor's foot!!! A STUDENT NURSE is a composite. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat, the endurance of a flagpole sitter, and the capabilities of a FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE all rolled into one white uniform. To the head nurse, she has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule, and is held together by starch, adhesive tape, and strained nerves. To an alumna, she will never work so hard, carry more trays, make more beds or scrub for more cases than her predecessors!!! ASTUDENT NURSE IS FAITH with a hypo in her hand; HOPE with a patched uniform; LOVE with her hair clipped short. She likes days off, boys her own age, the OR, affiliations, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her roommate, Mom and Dad, and YES, her NURSING SCHOOL. She’s not much on days off with class. She dislikes alarm clocks, g etting up for roll call, and corned beef every THURSDAY!!! No one else looks forward so much to a day off, or so little to work- ing 3 to 11. No one else gets so much pleasure from straightening a wrinkled sheet or wetting a pair of parched lips. No one else gets such satisfaction in fluffing a pillow, applying a bandage, or easing the pain of a patient!!! A STUDENT NURSE is a wonderful creature. You can criticize her but you cannot dishearten her. You can hurt her feelings but cannot make her quit. Might as well admit it whether you are head nurse, doctor, chaplain or patient — she is a hard-working determined young woman, doing her best for her patient, her school, her hospital, and her GOD. She may not be glamorous, intriguing or sophisticated, but she is young at heart — and a shining example of the American Way. Whenever she becomes discouraged or the lamp gets too heavy, she should remember that there is a reward waiting for her. Because surely some of GOD’S angels wear white caps instead of halos, and carry medicine trays instead of harps. And when hours are long, studies are hard; when fatigue and lonesomeness are on her threshold, she is reinspired by looking forward to the day when she can proudly say — “I’M A NURSE’!!! II! MED-SURG II Knowledge gained in class is practiced in our clinical ex- perience. We work as a group and as individuals to give the best care possible. Days are filled with lectures, guest speakers, OR ro- tations, drug cards and bib cards and most important, intense patient care. As we study the major body systems, we are able to apply this knowledge to future nursing courses. Med.-Surg. is: setting goals meeting goals evaluation. — 45 PEDIATRICS A child is not quite a miniature adult— his physical body, his emotional processes, his intellectual functioning and his needs differ from those of the adult. The value of the child lies in his being a child. The care of a child re- quires an understanding of his particular stage of growth and development and his individual ways of thinking and feeling. Nursing of children can be one of the most gratifying experiences a student can have. PDN IPE Maternity nursing involves direct, personal ministra tions to maternity patients and their newborn infant during the various p hases of the childbearing ex perience. It is the study of human reproduction- human growth and development. The mechanism b which conception takes place and a new human bein develops is a fascinating story in itself. The newborn: Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. But trailing clouds of glory do we come, From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy. AS y 47 48 Atatere —-TDA NnDV Butner is fright of the unknown, challenging new vocabulary, the wonder of the human mind. We learn about the mentally ill patient as well as ““normal’’ people — ourselves? We explore accepting of people not as we want them to be, but learn to accept people as they are. Butner is also filled with class hours of neuroses and psychoses, mental retardation, depression, alcoholism and drug addiction, therapies and community involvement. But what we remember the most are the hours of clinical. Meeting patients, attending conferences, planning group therapy and the many pages of process recordings. 44 ... whether man can describe his own mind in an intellectually useful way is uncertain and complex; but the effect is certainly worth making.” Paul Kolers (1968) LEADERSHIP Leadership is an eleven week course that has a definite impact on each student. Self-confidence, in- dependence, and insight are sought and usually gained by the end of the course. As the weeks go by, the stu- dent learns to oversee care for a group of patients while working with other members of the health care team. The main objective of the course is ‘‘to provide in- dividualized total patient care of the highest quality possible’, no matter what role: Team Leader, Medica- tion Nurse, or Team member. CONCEPTS (MED-SURG II) Concepts or Med-Surg II] continues the skills and understanding to which the student was introduced in Fundamentals and Med-Surg I. As a senior more is expected of the student and she ‘‘dives”’ in and begins learning more on her own. Rotations through MICU and SICU provide a challenge with chest tubes, trachs, NG tubes, CVP lines and cardiac monitors. By the time the course is finished, the student has self-confidence in dealing with the intensive care seg- ment of her learning. : 49 Rua ine) Ww “ORAS FRESHMEN ARES Class officers: Barbara Little, Vice-President; Audrey Souther, Treasurer.

So as you go to find yourself, Don’t look too hard, You may pass yourself by, Reaching too high, Wanting the other side of life. And as you go to take your place, Don't go too fast, Just pretend there’s no end, Make yourself last Till the other side of life. One day you'll find Restless searching at an end, You'll think the world has changed But it’s just you my friend. So as you go to please your heart Please take your time, Someone's waiting there too, Waiting for you On the other side of side. He’s waiting for you On the other side of life.

Langston Hughes There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; No disease that enough love will not heal; No door that enough love will not open; No gulf that enough love will not bridge; No wall that enough love will not thrown down; No sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, How hopeless the outlook, How muddled the tangle, How great the mistake, A sufficient realization of love will conquer it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world. Emmett Fox Cynthia Dianne McLeod Raleigh, N.C.

The little things Are most worthwhile A quiet word, A look, a smile, A listening ear That’s quick to share Another’s care... Though sometimes They may seem Quite small, These little things Mean most of all. M. Lindsay “You are a child of the universe. No less than the trees and stars, you have a right to be here, And, whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God. Whatever you conceive Him to be and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.” Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, 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 injustice, 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. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 83 Sherry Anderson 409 Dove Place Goldsboro, N.

Though we seek life through, we shall surely find There is none of them clear to us now, not one. But clear are these things; the grass and sand, Where, sure as the eyes reach, ever at hand. The loves and hours of the life of a man, They are swift and sad, being born of the sea. Hours that rejoice and regret for a span, Born with a man’s breath, mortal as he; Loves that are lost ere they come to born birth, Weeds of the wave, without fruit upon the earth. | lose what I long for, save what | can, My love, my love, and no love for me! Gone, dreams of the past, gone with a love that moved too fast. Gone, bright shiny days, gone in a young and restless haze. Why did we love then run away? So little time, so much left to say, and now it’s gone. Young and restless friend, you'll never pass this way again. So drink the summer wine, reach for the stars while you have time. Your restless dreams will lead the way; so dream your dreams and live for each day while you are young. 85 ANNUAL STAFF Editor, Nancy Bigelow and Advisor, Mrs. Carol Phillips discuss the yearbook’s final outcome of production and finances.

Some one whose fellowship isn’t a fetter, Binding my freedom—who’s loyal all through. Some one whose life in this world makes it better, Blest to me, best to me—some one like you. Never a trouble but you help me bear it, Just by the fellowship you have with me. Never a joy but | want you to share it, How far you fare or wherever you be. Never a burden but you make it lighter, Just by your smile that | see creeping through, Never a glad hour but you make it brighter, Heart of me, part of me—some one like you. James W. Foley During our three years at Watts we have grown from total strangers to the very best of friends. Our friendship will last forever, as well as our memories of sharing Annie our senior year. We would like to ex- press our gratitude to the members of our class for honoring us with Annie. Catharine and Kathy Annie, the chipped and battered statue on the left, represents a tradition at Watts since 1943. In this year it was won by a senior stu- dent at the State Fair who having no roommate of her own, passed it onto the two closest roommates from the rising senior class. Since her first presentation, Annie has become a symbol of congeniality and understanding between two chosen roommates. This year Annie was presented to the two most deserving roommates, Kathy Vaughn and Catharine Walker. 91 ane ony 92 a ae 93 94 Where are you going? Where are you going? Will you take me with you? For my hand is cold and needs warmth. Where are you going? Far beyond where the horizon lies And the land sinks into mellow blueness O please, take me with you... Let me skip the road with you | can dare myself, | can dare myself I’ll put a pebble in my shoe and watch me walk | can walk... | shall call the pebble dare We will talk together about walking Dare shall be carried and when we both have had enough | will take him from my shoe, singing “Meet your new road...” Then I'll take your hand finally glad that you are here. 96 Silent sunlight, welcome in there is work | must begin All my dreams have blown away and the children wait to play They'll soon remember things to do When the heart is young and the night is done and the sky is blue Morning songbird, sing away lend a tune to another day Bring your wings and choose a roof Sing a song of love and truth we'll soon remember if you do When all things were tall and our friends were small and the world was new Sleepy horses, heave away put your backs to the golden hay Don’t ever look behind at the work you’ve done For your work has just begun There'll be the evening in the end But till that time arrives You can rest your eyes And begin again. C. Stevens Don’t you feel a change a coming from another side of time breaking down the walls of silence lifting shadows from your mind Placing back the missing mirrors that before you couldn’t find filling mysteries of emptiness that yesterday left behind And we all know it’s better Yesterday has past now let’s all start the living for the one that’s going to last Yes, we all know it’s better yesterday has past now let’s all start living for the one that’s going to last Don’t you feel the day is coming that will stay and remain when your children see the answers that you saw the same when the clouds have all gone there will be no more rain and the beauty of all things is uncovered again And we all know it’s better Yesterday has past. o7 98 If we only have love, then tomorrow will dawn And the days of our years will rise in that morn. If we only have love, to embrace without fears We can kiss with our eyes We will sleep without tears. If we only have love, with our arms open wide Then the young and the old will stand at our side. If we only have love, love that’s falling like rain Then the parched desert earth will grow green again. If we only have love, for the hymn that we shout For the song that we sing then we'll have a way out. Then with nothing at all but the little we are, We'll have conquered all time, all spaces, The sun, and the stars ... the stars. May the Road rise to meet you. May the Wind be always at your back. May the Sun shine warm upon your face, the Rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again... May God hold you in the palm of his hand. An Old Irish Blessing God, | pray, help me to help my fellowman to die this way: With the respect and dignity that he solely desires With the peace and contentment that | will be there With the hope and charity that he needs for tomorrow And Lord, most important, With the awareness that life does not end With the cessation of the heartbeat. Amen. 99 DURHAM COUNTY GENERAL HOSPITAL | want to thank Cynthia and Gena for pulling together with me through the many nights of laying out this yearbook.
