From the Seniors to the Freshmen: Gone are the days of the old rusty steaming bedpan hop- pers and walking with your patients along Watts’ sunlit hallways. As times change, Fundamentals remain the same. You establish rapport and interview your patient, take vital signs, give baths, give backrubs, empty bed- pans and make beds. These tasks may seem simple but they are the basis for the rest of your nursing career. Remember — the traditon of ‘““Watts Fundamentals” will stand you in good stead in the years to come. And already — “‘You’ve come a long way, baby!” Let’s go over this nursing care plan one more time! The PERFECT patient!

a Well, another three-mile hike to the car. I could have sworn this thing just squealed! Ask any Freshman what going to NCCU brings to mind and you will get a wide variety of answers ranging from — “It’s the only place I know where they paint a yellow line on the street around your car while you’re in class’, to “I’d even settle for the slow elevators at DCGH after climbing all the stairs over here!”” You may even hear, ““No wonder they did away with curfew at Watts — the labs last until midnight.’ Interesting courses like Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, English, Psychology, and Sociology keep the Freshmen on their toes. All their subjects prove to be essential in forming a foundation for the many nursing courses qhead. I think my finger is stuck!
