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.

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

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
