FRESHMEN AT WOKK .. . During the early weeks of their first year, the Freshmen attend Fundamentals practice labs. It is here that they learn the basics for their entire nurs- ing career, such as interviewing and establishing rapport with their patients, how to take vital signs, give baths, make beds properly, chart correctly, body mechanics and transfer techniques. The prac- tice labs help them feel more secure in performing these tasks and provide the opportunity for interac- tion with classmates. But these Freshmen haven't forgotten what is said about “all work and no play ... ” They have quickly learned that in order to be a more well- rounded person, one must combine equal amounts of hard work with extra-curricular activities. So, whether it’s watching a favorite T.V. show, enjoying a gourmet meal, debating your roommate over who's the cutest, John Travolta or Burt Reynolds, or just calling the local airport, bus station, or taxi stand for fare and schedules home ... these Freshmen have it all figured out. They've learned that hard work begets hard play ... and they’re determined to work very hard at both! “Miss Currin, is this a mitered corner or a murdered corner?” What am I hearing ... blood pressure or bowel sounds?

... AND AT PLAY Tery, you just got here. Calling the party store already! What's to celebrate? Was the first day that bad? Bill, they said dissect not digest the fetal pig. Is this one of the educational T.V. shows we've been hearing about?! Do you really think Burt Reynolds’ gluteus maximus is shaped better than John Travolta’s?
