Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing - Oak Yearbook (Williamsport, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1985 volume:

I MOVING IN, MOVING UP, MOVING OUT . . . How exciting! A perfect description of our three years at The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing. During our last year here, we pause to reflect on all the growing and maturing that occurred to transform us into the beginning professional nurses that we are today. When we started as Fresh- men, moving in was one of the most traumatic experiences of our lives. After a few weeks, we began to feel like nurses as we started our first clinical experiences. Back then, we were in awe of the Juniors and Seniors. At last our Junior Year arrived. We were now the awesome Juniors, and we vowed never to return to our Freshmen year even for a million dollars. Our first term became another traumatic experience for us all . . . we were separated into three small groups. There was no more hiding in the back of the classroom. For the first time, the instruc- tors could actually see everyone ' s face. Our fondest memories are of all the fun we had in our Mental Health, Surgery and Rehab courses. We all strived to obtain the honored title of Senior Student Nurse. Finally, we are Seniorsl We feel both excitement and trepidation as we begin our last school year. As we finish our education at TWHSN and graduate, we are eager to begin our new lives as professional nurses. We invite you to page through The Oak with us as we relive our experiences of MOVING IN as Freshmen MOVING UP as Juniors; and the ultimate, MOVING OUT as graduates of The Williamsport Hospital School of Nurs- ing. -!$ v.jf; ,.• ' H - ¥ ' r VIM The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing Presents the 1985 OAK Williamsport, Pennsylvania 17701 % To our families, The people who have given us the love and support we so desperately needed during these past three years. On Fridays, exhausted and weary, we eagerly brought ourselves home to you. Then on Sundays, re- freshed and new, we reluctantly said good-bye and returned to school. You gave us encouragement when we thought we could not possibly make it through another day. We remember all the times you were there so we could lean on you for support . . . you were always so strong. We wish to thank you for allowing us these years to grow and mature. We will be indebted to you forever. With our love, The Class of 1985 Always there to help! The Class of 1985 wish to give recognition to our Class Advisors, Ms. Hood and Mrs. Dunkle. Both of you have given us a great deal of motivation and encouragement throughout our three years at The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing. You have guided us to reach farther than we thought possible. You also made us realize that we truly can reach our goals and aspirations. You have been our instructors and colleagues, but, most of all, you have been our friends. We have talked with, cried with, and grown with Ms. Hood and Mrs. Dunkle throughout these three years. We will never forget the kindness you have shown to each and every one of us. We hope that someday we will be able to repay both of you for your kindness. I ' m smiling, Jeanne Jr Are you smiling? 1 ■ . 1 i J V 1 Freshmen, beware! ' ICU psychosis personified. Student , Life Is any of this sinking in, Tammy?? Life after hours? For student nurses? Does such a thing really ex- ist? Yes — well, I think so. The stu- dent body sponsors dances, picnics and other goodies to relieve tension and liven up the pace. Student orga- nization meetings, class meetings, NCF and many more activities pic- tured throughout this book take us away from the norm. We do manage some time for our families and loved ones so that our life here is not all studying and clinical notebooks, even though it may seem like it at times!

First Impression Moving in . . . fear, insecurity, nervousness mixed with feelings of independence, maturity and responsibility. What were we getting ourselves into? Official college students at Lycoming as well as student nurses. We were told that the workload was heavy, but we never realized . . . Still, we had free time to make new friends, rearrange our rooms and relieve stress in various ways. Occasional episodes of hostility due to high anxiety levels, depression and feelings of defeat occurred with everyone at least once, but interspersed with these downfalls were periods of hysteria when all forgot the problems at hand and let their hair down! High points were weekends, nightly phone calls from loved ones and feelings of success as we started moving through our classes. These first impressions will always be with us as we look back with feelings of relief tinged with regret. Far Left: The Juniors finally got us!! Left: A relaxing moment for the day.

In our three years at TWHSN, we have seen many of them. The Class of 1985 is the last class to remember all of the housemothers, pegging, and the doors being locked at midnight. We were the first class to have the new grading policy and the last class to have over 200 hours of clinical time. We also saw changes in our faculty and hospital administration. Follow through with us as we describe the changes The Williamsport Hospital School of Nurs- ing has encountered in our three years here. I . ft Top Right: Our latest director enjoying herself.

Yearbook Staff o r g a n i z a t o n $ The Yearbook Staff is a hardwork- ing, dedicated committee made up of Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors. The staff is divided into several commit- tees: Photography, Copy, Layout and Business. Photography takes the can- did pictures and helps to organize schedules to take pictures of student activities and faculty. Any written ma- terial found in the book, including cap- tions, is the responsibility of the Copy Staff. The Layout members draw plans for picture and caption place- ment on the page. The Business Com- mittee works to raise funds for the yearbook by selling ads and year- books. The staff works together and with the classes to publish a polished and well-thought-out book, which holds memories for each of us. The book is very important in tying together the events and happenings throughout the school year. Anyone who picks up a yearbook should be able to relive spe- cial events in this school through the pictures and articles in this book. The staff has put forth a great deal of ef- fort into this yearbook. We hope you will enjoy and treasure it as much as we will. For the Seniors especially, this book summarizes the laughter, tears, headaches and successes of the past three years. Juniors, hard at workl Believe it or not, we ' re actually enjoying this? A Senior lending a helping hand. I ' m sure it ' s in here somewhere. 12 to left: Deb Padlo, Chris Wagner.

Student Organization — Executive Board The Student Organization pro- vides student voice between the faculty and the hospital adminis- tration. It promotes professional awareness and growth. This orga- nization also provides social in- teraction with a monthly activity involving the whole student body. The Executive Board is the stu- dent governing body. It is made up of the Student Organization officers; the chairman of each committee; Senior, Junior and Freshmen class officers; the Resi- dence Director; two faculty advi- sors and the Director of Nursing.

The duties consist of preparing a balanced budget for the following school year. This budget is submit- ted to the Executive Board for con- sideration at the April meeting and for approval at the May meeting. An annual report is also submitted to the President of the Student Organi- zation in late May. Left to right: Ann Houseknecht and Holly Reichart Audit Audit Committee consists of the treasurers from each class and from Student Organization. Each class treasurer is responsible for keeping the class finances in order and up to date. Each of the class books are audited three times a year: at the beginning, midway through and at the end of each school year. The treasurer from Student Organization is the Chairman of this committee and oversees the audit- ing. Left to right: Bob Marburger, Maxine Stauffer, Yvette Brouse, and Sandy Erickson 17 Curriculum Committee The Curriculum Committee is made up of the Director of the school, the lead instructors from each course and student represen- tatives from each class. The com- mittee meets every other month. The lead instructors have reports concerning the students ' clinical ex- periences. They also discuss if there is a need to revise the objectives of the courses. The student represen- tatives also make reports during the meeting. Left to right: Joann Garrett and Sharon Treon Bylaws The Bylaws Committee reviews and proposes changes in the school ' s bylaws. The revisions are then presented to the Executive Board and Student Organization for approval. They have recently been involved in changing the number of Student Organi- zation meetings from a meeting every month to only three meetings per year. I ' m sure all the students at TWHSN appreciate the work that this committee has accomplished. Left to right: Carol Casner and Jan Bastress 18 Publications and Recruitment The Publication and Recruitment Committee consists of students from each class, five instructors and the hospital ' s nurse recruiter. This committee is responsible for pro- moting the school. They do this by going to high schools and talking with students. They also hold ' open houses ' here at the school and pro- grams are also offered to non-tradi- tional students. This committee is responsible for writing newspaper ads and other promotional activi- ties. The student members are need- ed for their ideas and to act as hosts at the various functions. Left to right: Sandy Erickson and Carolyn Jones The Recognition Committee has been formed to award special honors at the end of the school year. These awards may be serious or comical. Cindy Waldman 19 Judiciary Clinical Incidence Left to right. Holly Reichart and Lori Hoffman Deb Gordner The Judiciary Committee receives complaints per- taining to policy infractions. This is done through the Director of Nursing Education or her designate. The student representatives decide the fate of the students. Thankfully, the committee doesn ' t see the light of day very often. Clinical Incident Committee reviews problems faced on clinical. This committee makes suggestions about improving clinical performance. They also decide the consequences to be taken against the student. The stu- dent representative brings reports back to the class meetings. What are we supposed to remember??? The Grievance Committee is a committee for the stu- dents. If the students have a complaint or grievance about unresolved problems in the course or on clinical, the student brings the grievance before the committee. The committee studies the complaint and renders a de- cision. Grievance Left to right: Deb Gordner and Brenda Ross 20 Fire Wardens Left to right: Sandy Erickson, Susan Mechtly, Holly Reichart, and Ann Houseknecht The Nominations Com- mittee is designed to se- lect people from the stu- dent body to serve in of- fices and committees in each class and student organization. Front row: Joann Garrett. Amy Beth Nelson, Susan Mechtly, and Susan Laughner. Back row: Lou Ellen Fry. NCF The Fire Wardens are our life-savers . They alert us when there is a fire or fire drill on the floor and help us leave safely. Each class ap- points at least two fire wardens for each floor. We give them much practice by setting off the smoke alarms while cooking in the kitchen! NCF (Nurse ' s Christian Fel- lowship) is a support group for the students. They sing songs, read scripture and share ev- eryday experiences as nursing students. They meet every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. and all students are welcome to at- tend.

Mrs. Derr helps to keep all of us in line and helps advise us in things we do. The Hospital Administration makes possible the continued operation of our school. The secretaries organize our classroom schedules, type our tests and do many more things to help us keep running as we should.

Residence Director Now, we go behind the scenes. The people on this page play a very large role and do not receive much recognition for their accomplishments. Mrs. Perry helps all of us pay for school in some way. She shows us how to fill out forms and tells us about scholarships that we can apply for to lessen our financial burdens. As for Mrs. Cellini, she does so much more than we even realize. She has become the mother-figure we turn to here at school. The house cleaners do a lot for us. We started out the year with two people, we now have one person. She is here only part of the time. She tries to keep all of the floors looking neat and orderly. These people need a special thanks for all they have done for TWHSN. Environmental Service.

No one person is the same as another. Each of our instructors through the years have added their own special touch to the course and clinical work we have had and as we look back, we will be able to re- member each and every one of our instructors for some- thing special. This group of people has made this school what it is today. Thank you for everything you have done. « 1 s f A k Surgery Instructors: Left to right: Mrs. Dottie Mathers, Mrs. Kathy Temple, and Mrs. Maria Gustafson Mental Health Instructors: Left to right: Mrs. Mary Ellen Rosencrance and Mrs. Su- san Troxel.

People The Williamsport Hospital School fo Nursing has been affectionatly known as The Convent . We re- ceived this name because of all the rules and regulations that were set up by the school. In past years, spe- cific times were scheduled to study, eat and sleep and if you could squeeze a social life in between that was great. Currently, the time we have after class and clinical is ours. Now we have time for clinical infor- mation, studying, extracurricular activities and leisure. Regulations have become more relaxed. We are allowed to come and go as we please with our keys to the doors. We also made our own decisions about when we do our school work and other school activities. The Convent still does not allow for us to have much of a social life, but life as a Nursing Student has drastically im- proved over the years.

Fundamentals I has been difficult, but it is the beginning of our nursing education. All the freshmen will remember the first time we were in our uniforms. Who will ever forget our freshmen instructors — Ms. Hood, Miss Peterman, and Mrs. Kremski? Fundamentals II has also been difficult to manage with clinical, class here at TWHSN and having classes at Lycoming College. We have learned very quickly how to prioritize our time. In Nursing I, we have had the best time of all. We are now on the clinical floor more and able to apply the skills we have learned. We no longer have classes at Ly- coming College and are able to concen- PL : - As -fj] WfttP ' St v I Class Historian: Diane Eisley Class Officers: Left to right: Maxine Stauffer, Secretary; Lori Cardy, President-.

The major one has been working with the elderly at a nursing home. As freshmen and impending juniors, we have learned much about the career we have chosen.

The Flood No one will ever forget the frantic rush right before Christmas, 1984, when the roof of the Nurses ' Residence decided to leak. The one whole side of the fourth floor was asked to evacuate that side of the floor. Then we waited to see which room would begin to leak first. Unfortunately, it started to leak first in the place that was least expected. It was an unbelievable sight. There was furniture, boxes of clothes and books in the halls and extra rooms. This incident will not be soon forgot- ten, at least by the Senior Class. If nursing school doesn ' t kill me. all these parties will! 32 Debra Padlo Michelle Nestlerode Michele Miller Diane Mahoney Something that seemed to be an ongoing conflict for the students was the subject of parking. Anywhere close to the hospital was off-limits so the students either had to park in the Main Lot — the only legal area or park illegally. Parking in the Main Lot wasn ' t always such a great idea because of weather condi- tions. We were not allowed to park on Louisa Street directly in front of the Residence which created con- flict between the students and Administration. If a student was caught parking illegally, he she would get notes from Safety and Security and Mrs. Derr. We will never for- get the multiple park- ing violations and notes that read.- Please regis- ter your car today with Safety and Security and move it to the Main Lot . Randy Kaspryzk Maid Marian Student ' s cars? 33 Housemothers The seniors have seen a lot of changes in the School of Nursing and the hospital. The one change we were sorry to see was the reorganization of the house- mothers. We are the last class to remember the great group of ladies we called our Housemothers . Each of these fine ladies made it a little easier to adjust to life here at school. Gladys Cellini, affectionately known as Mrs C, will always be remembered as our mother figure. No one will ever forget Dolly Bollinger. She was always understanding and easy to talk with. How can we forget Helen McCarty, who always found a bright spot in everything that went wrong. Our grandmother figure, Minnie Ulmer, only wanted the best for all her girls and boys. She always looked forward to talking with us every time she worked. Not everyone remembers Judy Plankenhorn, but she worked some evenings and on weekends. She helped to make staying the weekends more enjoyable. These five ladies made our first year a little more bearable and helped to make us a family. As seniors, we regret not being able to share our experiences of having housemothers with the underclassmen. Carolyn Jones Barbara Hughes Connie Holt Joanne Garrett One. Two, Three, Drop!

Which crumb do you want? Hey, look, Barb. I discovered H 2 OI Lycoming College ... An experience we will never forget. Valuable in- formation but what a challenge to find time to do everything! We were not the traditional college stu- dent and this made us stick together as a group. Our college mates who were not in our nursing group com- plained about not having a social life and when we compared our very full, hectic schedule, our question was what is a social life! The experiences we had are never to be forgotten because they have enriched our lives privately and professionally. e 3 35 Nerves tt The first day of clinical is always a new and differ- ent experience for each of us. As freshmen, clinical is something we have never experienced. As for upper- classmen, we are expected to use our knowledge and skills we have acquired, but maybe became rusty with over the summer. We press our uniforms and prepare for clinical in hope to satisfy our instructors and to relieve our anxieties. Mary Lynn Bierly Michele Betts Joseph Armstrong Catherine Acosta Don ' t I look divine?

Rehab Nursing ex- posed us to a whole new experience of helping people to make a better life for themselves. Mental Health Nursing helped us learn more about why we do the things we do. Finally, in Surgery Nursing, we learned ways of correcting abnormal body functions. As we finish out our second year, it looks like we may make it through our senior year.

Other projects included selecting a yearbook staff for next year and deciding on a number of items con- cerning graduation. We have already gone through Nursing II, rehabilitation, mental health and surgical nursing and are looking forward to our senior courses. £ 3 39 Dustine Merrifield Keys When the seniors first entered school here at TWHSN, they were introduced to the infamous pegging system which consisted of a pegboard and different colored pegs that indicated their whereabouts.

But keys are not without their drawbacks ... a forgotten key . . . can someone please let me in?

For those of us who never had this experience or don ' t remember, there was a large board with all of our names on it with a hole beside our names. A yellow peg indicated that we were in the hospital or library, white meant we were out, but would be back by 12 mid- night and no peg meant we did not know when we would be back. We all remember being hassled about not hav- ing the right colored peg in. And the freshmen and juniors thought keys were a pain! Below: I raise ya ten.

Through our travels at TWHSN we learned that our lives as student nurses consisted of more than just lectures, books, clinical information, projects and exams. We in- volved ourselves in various organizations, fund-rais- ing activities and planned social events of our choice. We had fun at Hallowe ' en hayrides, Christmas spir- iting, Thanksgiving baskets and such. Our bake sales to raise yearbook money went very well. Class rings, senior pictures, senior courses and graduation plans all remind us that we are almost moving out into the ' real world ' !
