(Later this became a part of the Chicago University.) Putting her newly-gained knowledge into immediate use, Miss Wickland then spent several years as a Public H ealth Nurse in Wyoming, Utah and the island of Puerto Rico. But again, the urge to return h ome was irresista ble and in 1924, sh e started what was to be a thirteen year stint as Instructor of all Nursing Subj ects at Holy Cross Hospital Sch ool of Nursing. Then, after additiona l graduate work-this time in the care of tuberculosis-Miss Wickland became Director of Nursing Service at the new Utah State TB Sanatorium. This kept her well occupied throughout 1940, 1941 and part of 1942. In September of 1942 until August of 1945, Ella Wickland served as Instructor of Red Cross Nurses Aide Courses and Director of Nursing Service in the Salt Lake City Chapter of the American Red Cross. Simultaneously, she was Recruitment Secretary, A. R. C. Nursing Service, for nurses to serve in the Army and Navy Nurses Corps . Miss vVicklands interests have been varied and she has always been willing to let others profit by her own wide experience. Perhaps, a few of you will know that sh e was a charter member of the Uta h State Nurses Association, and was a member of the Ways and Means Committee which was responsible for the fir t law requiring the registration of nurses in Utah. She also served for thirteen years, on the first Board of Nurse Examiners in the Beehive State.

Holy Cross Hospital Salt Lake City th~re is a mod~st granite slab bearmg upon its ta blet of bronze the name of heroic women whose charity and dauntless courage have given to the city one of its most illustrious institutions-Holy Cross Hospital. I N It was at the request of the miners and smelter workers in the intermountain territory that the Reverend Lawrence Scanlan petitioned Mother M. Angela, in 1875, to open a hospital in Utah. Sisters M. Holy Cross and Bartholomew were sent from the Mother House to undertake the work. They came with empty hands but with hearts rich in sympathy for the poor and suffering. What they lacked in material equipment was supplied by generosity of heart and ing:nuity of mind. The first hospital was a modest, two-story brick house on Fifth East which was rented for fifty dollars a month. The medical staff numbered three: Dr. A. Fowler and two Drs. Benedict. At that time, the Catholic population in Utah numbered not more than ninety souls. To eyes that had left the faith and culture of Incl!ana, the situation in the Great Salt Lake valley did not look ' :·;, encouragmg. Pag e 4 In the pioneer quarters, however·, the demand for larger accommodations soon became urgent. 1n 1882, an entire block of ten acres, which was distant from, the then settled portions of the city, was purchased by the Sisters. By June 1883, the nucleus of the modern hospital was ready for occupancy. The brick building erected on the property was paid for by funds solicited in the city and the mining camps. These funds were augmented by the meager income of the hospital. The building was laid out in wards, with the exception of twelve private rooms, and had a capacity of 125 beds. Trees and shrubs were planted, but because of the heat and lack of moisture, they struggled for life. Bishop Scanlan, who took an active interest in everything pertaining to the institution, carried water for the trees and plants. As incongruous as it may seem, soon after the new hospital was opened, a school for grade children was started in the basement of the building. This school continued for fourteen years. At the close of 1890, the number of Sisters had increased to fifteen. .The daily average of patients was fifty. R for' E~EAF The nursing services of Sisters of Holy Cross Hospital 11 not limited to the patients brou_ to them. At the request of GoYernment for Sisters to m1 the fever-stricken soldiers in Spanish American War, six Si11t were sent to Kentucky and later Georgia and Cubia.

In 19 the School of Nursing was affiliat with the College of Saint Marythe-Wasatch in offering a cm bined course covering a period three years at the hospital and t11 years at the college. The com pletion of this five-year course e1 titles the student to a Bachelor Science Degree and a Diploma ursmg. In 1902, a west wing additiu was started and expansion co tinued, providing for obstetric a1 pediatric departments and a di laboratory. With the complello of the west wing, a new surgen X-Ray and laboratory were pr vided. 1918 saw the completion the east wing. In August, 1939, the Obstetricil Department was completed, thu providing modern pre-delivery a1 delivery rooms and a soundproo air-filtered nursery.

Hard as the 1b may be, it will be easier to do han nol to, for before we can n'wer some of the most troubleome questions regarding the cur·1culum. legislation, economic t'fnrity and the place of the nonirofessional worker, we must know :nore precisely than we do now uq what professional nursing is. \lost nurses are so deeply en.ro,1ed in the pressing events of 1eir everyday jobs that they canot fully appreciate how greatly ur1ing practice has changed. It , e11ential for us to realize this or 1,e we may become affraid for nd resistant to the changes that ·ill must come as our profession old1 its own in the march of ~ARCH-APRIL, 1951 health. "In the nursing profession steady progress toward well-considered goals is a safer route than sudden forays over uncharted ground." The better we are informed and the more we participate as members, the more do we realize that these goals are not against any segment of our group but for the advancement of the profession. In the end, the quality of our service to the community determines the quality of the opportunities before nurses. Each health advance has added to the curriculum. It cannot be trimmed off until we know better what is the function of the professional nurse. or can general staff nursing come truly into its own important place without that kno,vledge. The most spectacular change came in institutional staff nursing. Once our smallest field, with but a few thousand nurses 20 years ago, today it is by far our largest. This field grew so rapidly that its problems out-distanced our resources for handling them. A functional study of nursing should help us in many ways. The first studies will be made in institutions for there the need is not acute, but all branches of nursing need a clearer understanding of nursing function. Functional study is the "discovery" of the better ways of using nurses who may be handicapped by years or some physical loss. Nursing is generally looked upon as demanding good feet and a strong back as well as an intelligent head and disciplined soul. The handicapped nurse is hard put to find a place for the wisdom, experience and skills she yet has to give. Industry is blazing a splendid trail in its growing philosophy of placing workers according to their abilities and letting the disabilities take care of themselves. Why can't nursing? Nursing cannot greatly extend its annual number of graduates. Therefore, it can meet the increasing demands on it by a better use of what it has. A functional study is a major first step in this dire~­ tion. The Technical Committee to the Program of Studies of Nursing Functionc held its first meeting. September 26-27. The committee agreed upon its duties and responsibilities as outlined by the ANA Board of Directors ~ and also worked out administrative policies governing the committee. A master plan for studies of nursing functions was developed and rules and criteria governing requests for research grants prepared in order to promote the program on a national basis. The committee also outlined suggestions for state nurses associations for developing proposals for research grants. Details of the master . plan and rules and criteria will be presented in the December issue. All districts may use their own ways and means of getting their quota in. Do not stop at one dollar per member, as all money over our quota will be retained and added to our fund for next year. This brings to mind the excellent work you did when we raffled the car for the State Convention. This can be done again as I know the nurses always do an excellent job, regardless of what it is. So may I ask again to please do all that is possible to make this a success. Write me any time for suggestions as we go along. I shall be very happy to hear from any and all of you. With the Best of Luck and our goal in mind let us start now. VERO ICA JOHANNESSEN, Chairman Nursing Functions Study Page 5 . ~ VISITED HAWAII T o MOST people the Christmas season means "the gathering of the Clan" but to us Jagers (my husband and myself) it meant going away from the family fireside. On December 22, we boarded the good ship Lurline at Los Angeles harbor for the Hawaiian Islands. It took 5 days to cross the not too Pacific Ocean. Days filled with fun and Tom and Jerrys for most of the passengers, misery and loss of appetite for the minority (I belonged to the latter category). The arrival at Oahu Island is something everyone should experience at least once. The music of the Royal Hawaiiun Band, the dive s who caught the coins tossed into the water, the submarine which circled the ship and dove out of sight, the Lei greetings, all done for our pleasure, is something to anticipate and enjoy. Our first sight-seeing trip took us around the island. We saw the small church built for the Hawaiian Royalty. A descendant of King Kamehameha was our guide. The beauty of this chapel must be seen to be appreciated. Lumber which withstands termites, foliage without compare and, the crypts of those who helped shape the destiny of their country, leaves its impression even after one leaves. We climbed up on the mountainous highway and saw the upsidedown waterfall as described by Ripley, gasped at the vista when we turned a corner on the highway and beheld the beautiful Mormon Temple, second only to the Taj Mahal, a the world traveler who was with us exclaimed. Now we know how sugar cane grows, is burned before being harvested and then is brought to the refineries. We can believe, because we saw it, that pineapple is planted through holes made in tarred paper which i laid on the ground. This is to keep in moisture and keep out bugs and weeds. One never has tasted pineapple until one has seen it picked, Page 6 AL INTERGROUP RELATION~ cleaned and cut up for consumption on the same day, mmmm. Next we went to Kauai, called the garden spot of the Pacific, its vistas are indescribable. Here is where King Kamehameha I conquered the inhabitants of the first island when he began mastering the 8 islands and weld them into one territory. We next visited Hawaii, the volcano island. When the Mona Loa sr"wed forth its lava in January, 1 LJ')I) it brought havoc to some mrnll villages, it wrecked roads and still gives discomfort to feet. I tried te pick up a few piece of lava to add to my souvenirs but could not handle it because of the heat. Flowers are everywhere, blooming on the roadside, in gardens and hothouses. Leis made of orchids as well as all common garden variety of flowers, fregrant and beautiful. Everything there makes one feel relaxed and at peace with the world. We also saw the top of an extinct crater which has big areavvays in its insid£.s. Climbing a little higher upon the side of the mountain we came upon the Arlington of the Pacific. It i growing pretty fast right now but, Oh! God, its beautiful here. Here is where Ernie Pyle lies buried beween two unknown soldiers. It i all so peaceful that one hates to leave to face again the hub-ub and hurry of our present civilization. Before we left to return to the mainland we visited Pearl Harbor. It looks like any other military station with its barracks and boats, or does it? I guess not, for this place gives you a lump in the throat when you see the wreck of the 'Arizonia' stick up out of the water with our flag poised there at half mast in memory of the 900 boys still buried in its hull. And now we are back. We said Aloha, which means "hello" "goodbye" and "please come back'', Yes, we shall come back to the land of beauty, kindliness and hospitality.

Things that do not exist appear real and assume gigantic proportions. An emotionally snlisfie<l patient, whose needs are being met, would turn on fewer lights, have far less demands to make and in a great many instances have far less ills. One important contribution th e nurse can make in alleviating many emotional problems for the patient is by making the patient and his fami ly feel welcome and ];y helping them realize they are guests and tha' we arc treating them as we treat or should treat ( C~mtinucrl 011 n1·xt page ) 11rofessional nurses, practical 1r<es and auxilliary workers. no nur-e participdil' or creed t any niiii~ the inte- ber of tht> : a citizen. 1 nurse. to be self1re created zdowed hr •rtain Llllrt anzona and the pendenrc NS Attack was pmecurity r sale b}cuments. g Office, er copy. xceeding Six SurAttacks ons such e to go?"

As part of a professiona l plan we should take time out to weigh all the facts and decide which professional services are of greatest importance to the patient. Once this decision is made we should put them all in order, then start at the top and work down. W hen we accept the responsibilities and life of a professional person, we relinquish the right to exercise our own likes and dislikes while we are rendering service. We must accept this fact and make all decisions in favor of the patient, not from the standpoint of what we like best and what is easier for us, but from the standpoint of what is best for the patient. It is a big order, but one that must be recognized and accepted it we are not going to be left far behind in this progressing world. DID YOU KNOW?

VOGT care in the hospital re- Pmountquiresof equipment the use of a large by the nurs1g staff and others. To have this ~uipment readily ~ working order available and constitutes a iajor problem for the nursing dministration in establishing an fficient system for preparing and 1'pensing supplies. The two 1ethods in use in various hospitals re: (1) the decentralized system nd (Z) the centralized system. The decentralized system reuires each ward to be equipped ith supplies and instruments 'fessary to carry out nursing pro. ures and other types of treat1ent for patients in that partic:ar tmit with resulting duplica·10n of equipment throughout the arious wards. \'ariations m trays set up by i1isional personnel lessens effici1t execution of nur ing procedres. This is a particular handicap the student nurse in her formawe training period when procedres on each division have to be Japted to the method instituted 1 the system of handling supplies. The hospitals today are chalnged by the need for increased 1ality and quantity of supplies nd service. The factors which .are made these demands ineviable are: ( 1) high cost of equip·ient. time and space, (2 ) shortage I nursing personnel, ( 3) increased hnissions, (4 ) increasing changes n disea e treatment and preven11. (5) provision for student ·1rse learning and clinical experi1ce. lnvestiga ti on and inquiry re··als a general trend towards com·ming all service departments unctioning as a source of supply 1r the nursing staff. These ·rlude the central service depart."nl. obstetrical workroom, and perating workroom. This plan ;ierates efficiently and economicAR:H·APRIL, 1951 ally under intelligent supermszon providing the physical set up and location are suitable to it's needs. The space for the centralized service department should include distinct areas for the following: ( 1) receiving, cleaning and assembling returned equipment, (2) space for folding linen and making packs for the various departments, ( 3) sterilizing areas, ( 4) storage space and area for dispensing supplies. A location close to the opcrnting rooms makes it possible to utilize the time of the nurses not busy in the surgery to help in the service room as they are skilled in preparing such supplies. In the obscctrical and operating departments, time is wasted by personnel where there is only one central sterilizing unit and the departments must wait on each other for it's use. Tasks such as preparing linen and gloves are time consuming and fit into the routine of a central service department much better than in the busy routines of the other departments where the patient care should not be sacrificed to the preparation ol supplies. The nur'"!ber of people needed to staff one department instead of three would depend on the size of the set up, magnitude of service, size of hospital, and type of functions prevalent. Under good supervision a consistently high quality of service can be maintained. When properly standardized the various procedures such as washing and assembling trays, preparing solut:.ons, folding linens, and making packs can well be done by lay persons after a short training period. The advantage of having all equipment cleaned, assembled, sterilized, and dispensed from a central source are manifold. Studies and surveys done in hospitals show that where there is a central source for all supplies there is less loss due to misplacement. ·------------------------------------::INSURANCE AND BONDING • I!

Phone [phone] Major St. SALT LAKE CITY Breakage is less, especially where syringes are autoclaved rather than boiled, since most breakage results from forcep handling and parts of the syringe sticking due to ediment of boiling water. Less equipment will be needed for maximum use and there will be better utilization and control of existing equipment. Mechanical defects are checked by personnel who are able to recognize defects and take steps to have repairs made. All sterilization of equipment and supplies is done according to existing rigid stan"dards which is almost impossible on individual nursing units. A higher standard of work on the part of skilled personnel is possible when supplies needed are adequate, complete, and ready for use. There is nothing more detrimental to efficiency, workmanship, and service, than having to look all over the hospital for equipment and when it is unavailable having to improvise something to carry out the nursing procedure. For the student nurse the central supply ervice affords an integral part of her education wherein she learns efficient and complete methods of assembling eqmpment and supplies, standard methods of sterilization, and a sense of order and responsibility. For the hospital, a centralized system of control, preparation and distribution of supplies, cuts costs due to loss, breakage and time spent in the various departments for making supplies, assures efficient sterilization and service, less equipment needed for maximum use, standardization of correct nursing procedures can be maintained and new trays and techniques can be devised within the department.

America's physicians pledge their continued support and participation in this patriotic nationwide effort." "The Red Cross blood program enters its fourth year with a challenging future. Once again our armed forces must be supplied with blood for use on the battlefield and blood must be ready in sufficient quantities to care for civilian needs and in the event of disaster." The pr06ent need for blood far outstrips Red Cross facilities. The organization hus obtained the cooperation of the American Association of Blood Banks, the American Hospital Assocint!on und other groups interested in blood banking. It is also accelerating the expansion of its own network of regional centers to meet the increased requirements. In addition, the Red Cross is now establishing a number of centers in strategic metropolitan areas to collect blood exclusively for defense needs.
