Show NURSING Stamina and adaptability- the aides of compassion Nowadays, it is not at all unusual to see men as well as women training to be nurses. Because a nurse must deal with human beings on many levels, he or she must have a working knowledge of, among many other things, chemistry, anatomy, psychology and machine technology. This kind of knowhow can only come through a detailed, special course of training with modern,e-laborate equipment as well as a top-notch faculty. According to Mildred D. Quinn, Dean of the College of Nursing, the faculty and the equipment at the University of Utah are the best in the country. "We go to national conventions to meet people; we get the faculty involved in research conferences and national organizations to meet people. If we find someone excellent, we bring them to campus and letthe faculty interview them." November 1, 1969, marked the opening of the University College of Nursing Building, one of the most modern, well-equipped nursing centers in the nation. The new building, situated between the Medical Center and the College of Pharmacy, contains classrooms, lecture halls, staff and faculty offices, and a television studio for closed circuit television. It also features a Human Development Lab where growth and maturation patterns in people are observed. When asked if she thought the college was moving, dynamic and progressive, one student nurse answered, "It is so progressive I can't keep up! There is quite a lot about theory, and this is nice to have, of course; but when you get right down to the actual nursing, practice is what you really need!" |
