People had money problems then, too. The average worker earned twenty-two cents an hour. The price of a ward bed at Watts Hospital was six dollars a week, and that was considered outlandish. The citizens of Durham were lucky. George Washington Watts donated a hospital and also made up the deficits for those who could not or would not pay. Over the years, Watts Hospital continued to grow and become a vital part of the health care of the community. In the history of Watts Hospital there were several moves and expansions of the facilities. During 1976, the hospital moved to Roxboro Road and became Durham County General Hospital, while the School of Nursing remained at the historical Watts campus. Today the school, now the oldest diploma school in the state, is looking forward to leaving its home of many years on the Watts Campus and moving to a new building on the Durham County General Hospital site. Truly, it is a time to say good-bye. 4 2 i Student nurses worked from seventy to eighty hours a week. The stu- dent nursing program expanded from two to three years in 1909. Stu- dents did private duty in their spare time; and were paid ten dollars a month for the first and second year and fifteen dollars a month for the third year. Graduate nurses were added to the hospital staff in 1932. They worked a minimum of fifty-six hours a week, replacing the student nurses as head nurses. Graduate nurses took complete charge of the pharmacy, went on ambulance calls and worked in the operating and delivery rooms. The pay was twenty-five dollars a month, room and board. In 1919, a new labo- ratory was added for modern clinical pathol- ogy, surgical pathology, blood chemistry, serol- ogy, and the hospital’s first pathologist was hired. it’s hard to believe these carefree Watts students are now head nurses, supervisors, ect. es: the years 1,759 registered nurses have een educated at Watts Hospital in classrooms such as this one. A long time ago this was considered a modern operating room. But today a sur- geon would not think of performing surgery unless his stereo system was placed on his favorite channel and a resident was on call to take over in case a smoke break was needed. Oh, how our modern surgeons suffer. “This is not an institution for the exhibition of brilliant surgery and specialties in. diseases by renowned experts. It is simply a cottage hospital, ahome for the care and treatment of those sick and injured citizens of Durham who are deprived of the | favorable conditions that are necessary for their comfort and the successful manage- | ment of their maladies. The pure air, sunlight, good food, and careful nursing which | this institution will afford will of themselves save many lives which could be sacrificed | under the poorer sanitary conditions of many homes and boarding-houses.” “Three years ago | was for a short while a patient in a hospital, and only then did | fully learn the invaluable services of her we term a trained nurse. With her womanly gentleness given to her by God, augmented by years of study, reflection, and experience, she becomes almost a heavenly visitant, an angel of mercy at the bedside of the sick. She knows his needs, she realizes his condition, her hand is always ready to make him comfortable, her earnest sympathy en- courages him, her firmness stimulates him, and her training enables her to faithfully carry out the physi- cians’ instructions. More than once | have been told that her services are more valuable than physic.” George W. Watts February 21, 1895 Lucille Rich Gladys Hobbs Helen Lumsden Housemothers have been present on the Watts campus since the school dorms were established. They are considered to be adopted mothers. A housemother is one you can turn to when a before twelve date turns into an after twelve date. She’s the one who doesn’t mind that your entire wardrobe consists of property from Durham County General Hospital. When your cupboard is bare and items in the fridge look green and fuzzy, she cooks pinto beans and cornbread. A housemother’s concern and companionship will be a priceless treasure in the school of nursing’s history. It is sad that future nursing students will not benefit from the love given by our adopted mothers. To show our sincere appreciation we dedicate this yearbook to “Our Housemothers’”’.

Festivities of the week include: picnics on the 7 grounds, parties and skits in Wyche Y House basement, and tours of Durham. The freshmen became acquainted with anesthesia caps, school songs, and Club Boulevard. It is a time to say good-bye to the Watts campus, but hopefully not to all of the traditional activities of orientation. 12 REGISTRATION FEL Registration is a time of excitement, fright, and “structured” mass confu- sion. The freshmen arrive with anxious and “What do | do next?” looks. It’s a time for settling financial arrangements for the coming year, and everyone seems to want what a student has the least of — money. Juniors are the big sister welcome committee with their own look of excitement at their new role. Seniors intermingle with a smil- ing, helpful, and slightly arrogant look.

During this time the freshmen got their first taste of Watt's picnics; the juniors acted as gourmet cooks, the seniors relaxed and enjoyed, and finally the freshmen cleaned up. The freshmen were also treated to “special” initiation rituals by the senior class — much to the freshmen’s dismay and the senior’s enjoyment. ma Be be Dy Another example of class participation. (D.

Boren, Ms. Wyatt) 26 First day — Gosh, we thought it would never end. | We were so scared and anxious, we could hardly stop our white knees from knocking together. Even. before the day began, many of us were exhausted | from getting up at 5:00 A.M. For a long 4-hour day | sure took some getting used to! Getting those un- | iforms ready, what a chore!. It will probably be the | only day in all of our clinical experience that they were so clean and wrinkle-free! And what a difficult time we had trying to get all those little uneven hairs up off our collars in some professional, yet fashionable way. | Oh, the getting ready was certainly worth it, for af- ter the jitters were gone and we started getting the “hang of it,’ we were ready for more. We felt we were almost as good as real RNs. Overall, it was a very valuable clinical experience. One in which no. one could forget. For not only was it our first day at DCGH, it was our first step in fulfilling our dreams as. one day becoming a nurse. “This patient’s diabetic urine is 4+ and negative. Do you think we should call the doctor?” g ee] “They said classes would be long, but | ee didn’t think they would last til night.” nn oa, mail wnjesasn impale hawaiian OO OE “What did she say after, ‘make sure you get all the notes or else T. Byrd looks down on Ms. Rogers for ad- you'll get behind’?” vice. “Man, this class is so interesting, | can hardly stay awake.” a NCCU “Where is everyone else? | thought class was at 10:00.” By caravan we travel. Each car is packed with enthusiastic freshmen, eager to make their cross country jour- ney from car to campus. As we climb unending flights of stairs we anticipate another learning experience. The first few weeks at Central were filled with unanswered questions, lab schedules, misplaced classrooms, and slowly passing hours. As time progressed we found ourselves confi- dent intellectuals. Well, at least until exam time. And as the semester draws to an end and books begin to close, we look and wonder—how we ever made it. “Do you want it baked, broiled, or barbequed?” 28 “Central has a cafeteria?” “Any complaints, comments, criticisms?” (Dr. Boyd) | think it’s at least worth a ‘B’, Professor Sherer. 29 DORM LIFE Wyche House — To many it is their first home away from home.

You get to decorate it just like you want to except no tape on the walls, no hot- plates, to cook on, and no removing Ot MiUGhItUres lO heain Ones nO oO Me Bathrooms are shared by many, and kitchens are cluttered by everyone cooking at the same time. Meals are served on the pingpong table only when OB is not having class. One small TV room is provided for everyone who wants to watch something different at the same time. With these surroundings, total strangers come to know each other and become good friends. “My first week at school and | didn’t get any mail.” (K. Clark) “Now who is she going to call this time?” 30 sar in SSS “| can't wait to go and get my assignment.” (D. Burnette) S g g 3 j 1 “This school makes me so hungry.” (B.

Freemen) SA CAPPING The capping ceremony was a very special night for us, for we had all reached our first goal in our nursing career. We anxiously awaited for our names to be called, so we could be “crowned” with our cap, a symbol of our achievements. We will wear them proudly for the rest of our lives, honoring our priceless Watts’ educa- tion. A special thanks to all who con- tributed to our capping, especially our big sisters and brother who have helped us enormously through our first semester. vice. C.

E Bs Bs Bs s : Bs e : z BLACK BANDING — A REWARDING TRADITION Black Banding, the first step toward be- ing a senior, and the last step before graduation. Family and friends gather to share emotions of joy, excitement, and pride that surrounds the moment when the black bands are presented. It signifies much added responsibilities of the future and accomplishments of the past. One is accepted as a professional team member whose opinions are respected. Finally, a SENIOR, a time to remember! Exchange of caps signifies changing roles, added responsibilities and accomplishments. “The only reason we are roommates is because Susan Bray won’t move out.” (S. Bray, D. Bogie) Next step—GRADUATION! (K. Bainbridge, D. Bailey) Tapping of Santa Filomena ANNIE Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought or sold, But its value is far greater Than a mountain made of gold— For gold is cold and lifeless, It can neither see nor hear, And in the time of trouble It is powerless to cheer— It has no ears to listen, No heart to understand, It cannot bring you comfort Or reach out a helping hand— So when you ask God for a gift, Be thankful if he sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches, But the love of real true friends. —Helen Steiner Rice— Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. ... woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

Honeycutt) Susan Nashold The time had finally arrived. Panic and fear were seen on everyone’s faces. “How could we be responsible for the care of twenty-two patients?” In Leadership, the student becomes independent, self- confidence and skillfull. The student begins to grow using all her knowledge to find out what being a nurse is all about. This was accomplished through the help of Ms. Nashold and Ms. Lowe. Without their support, understanding, and patience, Leadership would not have been the same. Long clinical days were spent in tears, anger, disgust, and exhaustion. There were times when we felt we couldn’t go on or wondered if nursing was really what we wanted. Bad days were forgotten, for we received many cherished rewards such as a smile from a patient, a pat on the back from the doctors, or an encouraging word from a nurse. Before we knew it, Leadership was over. All the hard work, long clinical days, tears and frustrations were not done in vain for we gained something far more important. For once in three years a student nurse became an R.N. —Patti Baldwin— CONCEPTS Concepts entails many learning ex- periences located in a variety of settings. In the Intensive Care Units, all the knowledge and skills gained in the past two years come together. You learn to assume total care for your patient in his critical state. A great learning experience is the rotation with DCHC Ambulance Division. Nothing compares to the thrill for running a code- three with sirens blaring through the city or county streets. Excitement is felt when you go to acall and never know what you are going to face. In the Emergency Room patient care can range from bandaging a lacerated pinky to assisting with a code. Many emotions are expressed, tears are shed when patients code and die. Smiles oc- cur when you see your patient progress and eventually move up to the floor. Concepts is a hard and complicated course and now, that the time has come to say good- bye, we leave behind many memories: some good, some bad. —Patti Baldwin— Jenny Ingram—lInstructor oe 4 2 } VA) “No Debbie, that’s the wrong button.” (D.

With the score of 17 to 15 the nurses proved once again that they are not mere handmaidens. At the close of the game the crowd could be heard chanting, “We’re the nurses, You’re the docs. We’ve shown you who calls the shots.” Seniors enjoy “Makin’ It” through their final year while having many “Happy Hours” at the Christmas in November Dance. Rigid role models unwind. “Your dippin’ days are over, dear.” NS . N 78 CHRISTMAS DANCE And then they gatored.

Cagle becomes aware of who her secret sister has been by receiving a gift revealing her name. The Christian Student Union consists of a variety of students of dif- ferent denominations who get together informally to share our christian love. Our concern for one another has enabled us to carry on with laughter and determination. “Secret Sisters” have provided us with many encouraging thoughts after spending long hectic hours in class and clinical. This year’s events included crafts, a rest home visit at Christmas, and a trip to the CP Hospital at Easter. TREE TRIMMING ay The star belongs on the top of the tree, not her head.

We try to relive the past, capture the present, and preserve memories for the future. This task can only be achieved by working endless hours, crying endless tears, experiencing feelings of ambivalence and accomplishment. Although many times we thought we would never make the deadline, never be able to look at one more section, we did it! This feeling of success would not be possible without the help of those special friends who carried more than their share of this tremendous responsibility. Now is the time we wish to ex- press our appreciation to these outstanding people. Thanks to Denise Bogie for her fine job of keeping the business-end straight and in order. She also played a big part in addressing en- velopes for the Patron’s Page. Thanks also for the hard work devoted to contracting advertisements by Donna Painter, Susan Bray, Gail Lloyd, and Debbie Tisdale. Four hundred dollars worth was sold by everyone 's efforts combined. Much recognition and appreciation is given to them since selling ads involves more than what one would think. Special thanks to Ms. Phillips and Miss Smith. Ms. Phillips has given much support especially by assisting us with the fund-raising project in- volving the Patron’s Page. Miss Smith also contributed greatly to the fund-raising project as well as providing information for the opening and D. Farlow asks, “Nancy, closing sections. Thanks to Tom Hall, our representative from Delmar Studios, who worked long hours at Longwood workshop to help us learn the basics and aid us in designing the cover of the yearbook. He has been very patient while working around our strict schedule as student nurses and has offered much assistance. Thanks to Betty and Ned Hinshaw who did all of the special photography such as the aerial view of DCGH, Santa Filomena pin, new nursing education building, group and environmental pictures. The photographs have helped to make this annual of better quality. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. David Hix who have supplied much of the film used, free of charge. They will never truly realize what an enormous help this was to our strict budget. Thanks for the use of a book about the history of Watts entitled “The Eightieth Year of Quality Health Care to the Community”, which supplied much of the information found in the opening of this yearbook. There is no way possible to thank each of you individually who have helped in putting this yearbook together. We could not have done it without you. We, the annual staff, present this White Cap ’80 in hopes that we have captured those moments which were most precious to you. Read it and remember .-. who taught you how to type?” On the job training of L. Marrinan by P. Baldwin. C. Phillips supports annual staff as advisor. acumen | Seated — L. Marrinan; B. Hinshaw; D.
