Y. ) "·esident, First District, Illinois S zge 4) !:PTEMB ER• OCTOBER , 19 51 UTAH NURSE Page 3 PRESIDENT' S MESSAGE (Continued from page 2) important action taken, but a brief summary touching upon some of the high lights of the year's activities follows: Our attorney, Mr. Clarence C. Neslen, has heell more active than at imy previous ti me in advising us on the many problems that have arisen. The report front the Legislative Committee gives you much detail concerning the many legislative activities in which we hav!' participated and the goals we have reached. We have also needed and benefitted from his advice in non-legislatiw problems. A great step fon.vard has been mad!' in imprO\·ing nursing care for the future through the appointment of an educational consu ltant as provided for in our Utah State Nurse Practice Act. WI' greatly appreciate Mr. Neslen's aid to the Representative Committee for the Practice of Nursing in finally being able to fill this position. Many nurses feel a great step forward was made toward obtaining more members to state associations when as ociate membership was approved at the Biennial Convention of ANA in May 1950. .S. .A. B\'-laws on associate membership were adopted at our com·ention on October of I 950. Since then the various districts have been preparing their bylaws for adoption and we hope it will soon be effective in all rustricts throughout the state. Associate membership is not compulsive for any member wishing to benefit from privileges of active mem l)('rship. Employment standards for nurses has been another very active program this year. Progress has been made but not as fast as we had hoped inasmuch as only a small percentage of our general duty nurses in the state are members of the association. However. the few who are members have worked hard to establish acceptable employment standards and good will with hospitals and agencies with whom we work so there will be satisfaction for all. Reviewing the progress that has been made, one wonders what could have been accomplished if the 3882 nurses who are registered in Utah had all been members of the U.S. .A. instead of the 522 who were members as of July 1, 1951. The Civilian Defense Program has been successful as far as U .S.N.A. participation in defense programs and organization of work shops is concerned . Districts have cooperated and progress has been made.. However, we feel more progress could have been made had more people taken adrnntage of these workshops. In a comm unity where a workshop was recently presented, about one person in every thousand of the community attended and rece ived the in formation. One wonders what may happen in case of an emergency. Another program of the U.S. .A. this \'ear has been the study of nursing func tions. At the 1950 ANA Biem1ial Convention in San Francisco, the nurses en dorsed the program. The state nurses' associations were given the responsibility to raise funds to finance the research. Certainly there should be no other group more interested than nurses in th is program. . So far most nurses in ta h have been slow to respond. However with understanding of the true significance of this program, we hope Utah will do its share. It was proposed that each mem ber pay $1.00 per year for five years. This money shou ld go a lon g way in helping research groups study the various functions of nursing, their relationship and importancP to each other and to the patient. We haYe a very active student nurse organization in Utah and if, as a grad uate nurse, she is a act ive and interested in her profesion as she was as a student in her student nurse organization, the promise for the future of the U .S.N.A. is great. Do we as nurses understand the importance of membership in the U.S.N.A.? Do we take advantage of the privileges offered? Members who attend meetings. both district and state, who understand and vote upon the issues presented. and who bring other issues to be voted upon can ha Ye the kind of organization they desire and one of which all can hP proud. Board members and committeeme11 have worked hard toward making the U.S.N.A. a professional organization for professional people. Individual effort, understanding, and participation from every registered nurse in Utah is earnestly desired . -CYNTHIA CURTIS Treasur1 Pacific Fruit and Produce Co. • 160 Pacific Ave. Januar C.1 ... h on Hand.

Richards, Olga Falls and Ellen Anderson met early in the year to do this work. Miss Anderson had don e all the ground work the preceding year. The Constitution and ByLaws was printed in booklet form and sent out to the membership. The Districts were notified and instructed to prepare their Constitution and By-Laws to coincide with the State and ational. By this time a Constitution and By-Laws Committee was functioning with the following members: Olga Falls, Chairman; Joyce Edson, Lucile Johannesen. At the ti me of this report only two districts haw sent in their By-Laws to our Commitee-these have been checked and will be presented to the Board of Directors for their approval at their next meeting. We hope all districts will have their By-Laws up to date at least by their annual meeting so that the Associate Membership which every one has been asking for will become a reality. -OLGA FALLS, Chairman lll>BrRSHIE\"TS ') .. $ 1,314.till E\t'rnti' 1• Stcn·tary Officl' Sf·cretarv 71.73 48.30 rrr<Nlll'f I 11.d Sta/1 f Cortr,,mf'ul lli1bholding Tax ... ~ NCE ~28.83 ......................... . \.lfial St•cuiity ................. . \tatt· 0£ Utah Department 0£ l-:mploymrnt Security ...................... . 65.42 13.67 , and AudilinJ! \ttmnry 1t' laining kt· ........................... .

Edith Erickson, Marjory Shepard and Nettie Remington, met several times to formulate plans for increasing enrollment.. The following suggestions were carried out. Letters were ;,ent to all District Presidents, l\!lembership Chairmen and Supervisors of all Utah agencies who employ nurses, asking their valued support to encourage a ll working nurses to become members of the U . S. N. A. Information regarding the Association's platform, and the value each nurse receives through the Association was sent to each district. Many messages, written and ora l, have been given to individual nurses as well as to groups. Letters of invitation were mailed to 1300 nurses inviting new nurses to join the U.S.N.A. and urging all old members to renew their 111embe1·ship.

Even though this is a Ii ttle higher percentage over the 37 percent of last year, the Membership Committee was con cerned about the recent attitudes of nurses regarding the Association, so it was decided to do a survey asking everyone to express his or her opinion about dues and the administration of the Association. The results of this survey seem to indicate that a large percentage of the nurses feel that dues are too high however, since the sutvey has not been completely tabulated the results will be contained in a separate report. The Committee wishes to thank our Executive Sec retary, Mrs. E.G.

EMERSON • Iron Lungs • Hot Pack Apparatus • Resuscitators Phone [phone] WEST 3rd SOUTH SALT LAKE CITY Pag e 7 Legislative Committee Report HE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE of the U.S.N.A. this past year was primarily concerned with legislation which was presented to the 29th sessio11 of the Utah State Legislature. Many bills concerning health problems of Utah were intr0duced and passed by the legislature: the U.S.N.A. actively supporting sC'veral of these bills because of our direct interest in the legislation and its effect on nurses or nursing. T Following is a brief summary of a few items which your committee actively supported: 1. The Department of Business Regula - tions' budget for the first time provided funds for a nurse educational consultant. 2. The budget for the State Hospital in Provo was increased $800,000 above the 1949 appropriation. 3. Building funds were set aside to start a new medical-surgical buildi11g at the State Hospital. k The comm ittment law for voluntar·y patients to the State Hospital was changed to meet national ;iccepted standards .. 6. The Legislative Council a11d the State Board of Health are to formulate a new health code which will be presented to the 1953 legislature for action. lieu; LooiSb~t'NV/ fid'DIVINE! This past yea r your com111ittee has be1m engaged i1 r studying the various bills which are now before Congress con cerning federa l aid to nursing education. After careful study of all the bills the committee believes that the Bolto11 Bill ( HR 910 ) would more fully provide the assistance necessary to meet the present demands upon nursing educat ion. At the time of this writing no action has been taken by Congress on any of the bi lls which would provide some form of federa l aid to nurs ing education. I n May we sent to each member of the U.S .N.A. a summary of a few facts regard ing the Bolton Bill. We hope that this pro,·ed helpful to you.

CONVENTION EXHIBIT CHAIRMAN REPORT - 1951 HIS YEAR - AGAIN - we must report that the exhibit space provided for the Utah State Nurse's Convention is mostly unused. This fact makes it wry unprofitable for the Hotel Utah as well as most discouraging for the Exhibit Committee. More than a hundred contacts ha1·c been made endeavoring to provide ex hibits that will be interesting as well as valuable to all of you. However, few of these contacts have responded favorably to our invitation to participate in the exhibit. evertheless we feel assured that the ones who are cooperating will make it really worthwhile. You are obligated for the exhibits, only to the extent of visiting each one, enjoying what they have to offer, and expressing your interest in a manner that will show your appreciation for the expense and effort that has gone . forth to bring the exhibits to you. As you know the nursing groups or other health agencies are not charged a fee for space, but the time and effort spent in arranging these exhibits for your benefit and pleasure is very valuable and should be acknowledged by all who Yisit them. Please do not let us be guilty of neglecting to visit any of the exhibits. If it were possible to appoint the Exhibit Committee i11 the fall in order to giYC them sufficient time to make their con tacts before the fi rst of the year we feel that more ~ompanies would make allowances in their budgets to include funds for exhibits and would be more apt to participate. The Coca-Cola Company has again generously agreed to provide drinks for the nurses, without cost. It is a very generous gesture and everyone will be' assured of r·efreshment. . We hope that everyone will enjoy the convention and that they will be looking forward to the next one in 1952. Exhibit Committee - CAROL B.

LENA BESENDORFER Civil Defense Nursing Chrmn. ~, ..........................................................................,. AMERICAN LINEN CO. T HE PURPOSES of the committee for the recruitment of nurses have been: 1. Publicize the facts 11bout nursing and nursing schools. 2. Make available specific information through the high schools. 3. Give interested girls a chance to see hospitals and schools of nursing "on the spot." 4. Make financial help avai lable so no qualified girl need miss a nursing education through financial inab ility. Activities of the comm ittee can be summarized under these four divisions: 1. Radio, television, newspapers, window displays, magazines and announcements from the pulpits of churches have been used throughout the state to publi cize facts about nursing. Thirty re quests for information have come as a direct result of this campaign. (Coba Rasmussen, Publicity Chairman, assisted by Elaine Mellor and Winifred Lingen felter ) . 2. All hi gh schools throughout the state have been contacted, reliable voca tional information has been sent to them and the caree r day program (a period of face to face contact with students where detailed information is given) has been held wherever possible. Career day programs have been held by affi liates of this committee in Washington, Carbon, Emery. tah , Salt Lake, Uintah, Tooele. Wasatch, Davis, Weber, Cache and Morgan counties. Four hundred requests for information have resulted from this program. Th '.! committee as a whole assisted with the career day program through the cha.irman .. 3. HospitAl tour days were held in hospital center s in Salt Lake, Provo. Price and Ogden, Utah. One hundred girls came to these tour . Seeking financial help is now the major business of the committee. We have many more girls interested, qualified and needing help than we have funds to help. Over $1,050.00 has been collected from various firms under the chairmanship of Clarence Wonnacott. Plans are now being formulated to publi cize scholarships and make them avai lable to eligible students. 4.

They will discuss what they looked forward to, and the caliber of training they received, and whether or not training schools should give the students any preparation before they go on their affiliations.. In a lighter vein, they will follow the forum with music, song and other means of entertainment. Student Hour Affiliation Reverberations ..... .....

A questionnaire was drawn up, approved by the Board, and sent to 1300 working nurses. We received 486 of these questionnaires back, about 37% . We feel that this is just a fair response to the survey . T It brought out many attitudes of nurses towards the association. The majority who answered felt dues were too high and should be lowered. There were 253 members who answered and 168 of these felt dues were too high. There were 228 non-members who an swered. 127 had been members before, 101 had never been members and 213 gave high dues as the reason they had not joined the association. Out of the +81 who answered 381 feel dues should be lowered. The sum of ( $10.00) ten dollars was suggested by 214 and ( $15.00) fifteen dollars by 62, as being a desirable amount to pay for dues. While 64 made no comments, if dues were lowered 404 answered they would join the association, next year, while several stated they wou ld not. Some of the members felt that if dues we1·e not lowered they would not join again. Other opinions expressed: Local speaker~ could be used for our state convention where the expense would not be as great. Part payment of expenses of delegates to the ANA Biennia ls. Meals and mileage of members attending Board meetings should not be paid by the association. Dues should be made compulsory and every nurse who • works should be a member. Social Security should be available for nurses. We should be more friendly to out of state nurses. We should find some way to speed the process of registration for out of state nurses and see that all of them who work register in Utah. Some of the headquarters office expense could be cut down, such as telephone and towel service, part-time secretarial help, safety deposit box, and educational workshops. A detailed statistical report is on file at headquarters. The survey was conducted by each membership chairman and her committee in the districts, and the returned blanks sent to the state membership committee for tabulation. The state committee wishes to thank the district committees for their splendid cooperation and help. We especially wish to express our gratitude to all nurses who answered the questionnaire. We respectfully submit this report to the U.S.N.A. Advisory Council for their careful consideration concerning dues. Stale Committee on Members hip IoNE L. BROADHURST, Chm .

The appointment was made April 16, 1951. The Committee appreciates the generosity of the U.S.N.A. in offering the services oI their Attorney to assist them in securing an appointment. ·v\'ithout the assistance of Attorney eslen, Mrs. Frank Evan , and Mrs. Alex Jex, it is doubtful if the appointment would have been made at this time. We extend our thanks to them for their support. P ERHAPS With the appointment of an educational consultant, the Committee expects to extend a service to schools of nursing and the nursing profession that has not been possible in the past. Introductory visits have been made to some of the schools of nursing and visits for the purpost of renewing State Accreditation will be made in the near future.. It is our aim to assist schools of nursing in securing national accreditation, and to stimulate an interest in · improving nursing service and nursing education. The Committee held meetings with .the Directors of Schools- of Nursing in .the State for the purpose of revising the Salt Lake COMMUNITY Nursing Service "Requirements and Standards for Accredited Schools of Nursing."

They have 15 Private Duty Nurses in that district and they felt that they would like a private duty section. When I arrived for the meeting there were two nurses present. I was informed that the majority of these we re doing genera l duty part time and the others having families worked once in awhile. They feel that they cannot afford to pay the dues for the short time they work. Two out of the 15 belong to the ANA. Twenty-three letters were sent out to Hospitals throughout the State in hopes we might locate more private duty nurses. We received answers to five of them . These reported that there were no private duty nurses in their particular towns except those who take cases to help out relatives or friends. Several letters were sent to Tremonton and we received no response. I went by auto myself to see what information I could gather and was told there were 9 graduate nurses there. I felt we m ight stirqulate enough interest to rejuvenate district No. 7, and organize a private duty section. I found two graduate nurses. One R. . who didn't belang to the .N,A. The other had never been registered in the State of Utah but was receiving the same wage as the seven practica l nurses who were working there. We have eight private duty nurses in Brigham City. Two of these Nurses would like a district and also a private duty section. The others in this group felt that they could not afford to pay dues because of so little work. They feel that the dues were too high.. · From Tremonton I went to district o. 6, Logan. . I had no response by mail from the Hospitals here. I found no special Nurses in Logan except those brought in by friends or relatives. At the present time we.have 98 private duty nurses in the State. VVe have in our State two private Duty Sections No. 1 and Z. These sections have been very active the past year. In their monthly meetings they have promoted educational programs including lectures on the latest information pertaining to the nurses profession. Both sections have one-hundred per cent membership in the U. .A. I feel if we made closer contacts with private duty Nurses we would have a stronger State Organization. I am leaving Salt Lake City, September Znd for Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend the Conference of the National Asociation of Nurses. -GRACE B. WEBB, R.N.
