Practical Nurse Program. An invitation has been

extended by the N C L N to the NC State Association of

Practical Nurses to co-sponsor a state-wide program in the

interest of the needs of practical nurses as they relate to

better health care in our state.

Bulletins and press releases on the details of the

various parts of this energetic 1954-55 program will be

forthcoming as local arangements committees complete

their plans.

• Increased membership is the only way the N C L N can

bring more and varied programs to you. N O W is the

time to join ranks and promote these programs as a par­

ticipating member!

Tabulations are being completed on the case-finding

studies for rheumatic heart disease made in North Caro­

lina during the past school year, under the auspices of

the Rheumatic Fever Committee of the North Carolina

Heart Association. Figures are not yet complete, but indi­

cate that rheumatic heart disease is far more prevalent

in the State than has previously been realized and ap­

parently more prevalent in the Western Piedmont and

Mountain Counties than in the remainder of North

Carolina. In fact, the rates appear to be sufficiently high

to suggest the desirability of special programs of pre­

vention and control. A final report on the studies will

be made available shortly.

Mrs. Mary King Bailey, Chief of the Public Health

Nursing Section of the Kaleigh area, State Board of

Health, has been married recently. Her name is now Mrs.

Mary King Kneedler. Best wishes, Mrs. Kneedler.

T H I S is the time for all those persons who are pro­viders and consumers of health services to re-dedicate their goals for the new year. What better resolution could we make than to resolve to make 1955 a banner year for nursing progress throughout the width and breadth of the State. By so doing, Ave would be altruistic and selfish at one and the same time : altruistic, because by supporting improved nursing service and education we help our fami­lies, friends, and community; selfish, because few if any of us leave this old orb without having need for nursing care at one time or another. The more we do today to insure its availability when we need it, the easier it will be for us to receive excellent nursing care when the time comes for us to submit ourselves to it.

Everything points to the possibility of a great year ahead. We have excellent leadership nationally, statewise, and local ly; programs projected for 1955 have been care­fully planned and will be tremendously interesting as well as educational; the Committee on Coordination of Cur­riculum Study and Development has met and is setting its goals for wide cooperative achievements; and all reports indicate that this year is to be a generally prosperous one.

Now, if every nurse would only join in the effort to make nursing the greatest social force it can be, and if health administrators would take a most active part in this desirable aim as well as giving full encouragement to their staff members to actively participate, then total, high quality nursing care would be a universal reality, not some­thing that is too frequently mouthed rather than practiced.

S O U T H E R N R E G I O N A L C O N F E R E N C E OF

S T A T E L E A G U E S FOR NURSING IS H E L D

Three members of the N C L N attended the Southern Regional Conference of State Leagues for Nursing, held in Atlanta December 13 and 14, 1954, C. Margaret Johnson, Marie Showalter, and Howard E. Williams. The Kellogg Foundation paid the expenses of two members from each state of the region, which indicates to us the importance that is attached to the activities of the N L N .

The Conference was under the chairmanship of Miss Marion W. Sheahan, Associate General Director and Di­rector, Division of Nursing Services, NLN. Miss Sheahan kept the entire meeting informal, and allowed everyone plenty of opportunity to speak his mind. The first day was largely devoted to organizational problems and to the nursing education on the collegiate level that has been developed in this region through the Southern Regional Board of Higher Education and the Southern Conference of State Leagues. A survey showed that T E A C H E R S A N D S U P E R V I S O R S A R E T H E M O S T N E E D E D C O M M O D I T Y at the present time. The following uni­versities participated in a cooperative way to give the broadest kind of nursing education possible with the edu­cational facilities presently available: ( 1 ) Emory Uni­versity, ( 2 ) Vanderbilt University, ( 3 ) University of Alabama, ( 4 ) University of Maryland, ( 5 ) University of North Carolina, and (6 ) University of Texas.

Money was provided by the Commonwealth Fund, Kel­logg Foundation, the S R B H E , and the six universities for the support of 10 fellowships in each of the participating universities. A pamphlet will be published soon explaining the fellowships, and will be sent to all institutions that might be interested in the programs, according to plans. Those desiring more information about the program may write to Mr. William J. McLaughlin, Southern Regional Board of Higher Education, 830 West Peachtree Street, N. W., Atlanta, Ga. Also, the booklet, League Exchange List No. 4 gives rather complete information and is avail­able from N L N , Two Park Avenue, New York 16, N. Y., priced at $2.00.

The second day was devoted largely to membership and public relations problems. Some of the suggestions for public relations and membership activities were as follows:

1. Workshops on committee functions and responsibilities, so that the work of committees can be carried on efficiently.

2. Free membership to newly graduated nurses for first year.

3. Television program depicting typical nursing activities. It was stressed that time is more available in the sum­mer, and that even when program times were free, expense for production was necessary.

4. Inter-organizational committees composed of nurses, doctors, and other interested people, for example, N T A and N C L N .

5. Younger members are given committee and project responsibility m some states.

6. Try to interest student nurse groups.

A membership breakdown showed that there are about 18,000 N L N members. Of these, 7,500 are from hospital nursing, 4,000 from public health nursing, and there are about 500 agencies.

There was a brief discussion of the Temporary Accredi­tation Program. This program is due to end in 1957, and no decision has been made to date concerning the next

procedure. However, the Committee plans on sending a consultant to all temporarily accredited and non-accredited schools to determine how they can improve. It is hoped that the schools will be able to meet accreditation require­ments by the end of the three-year period. Also, it is hoped that each state will set up a curriculum committee to have liaison with the national committee.

There was a short discussion of the Nursing Aides Training program. Representatives from different states told how their states had tackled this worthwhile program. For example, in one city of West Virginia, they pooled the resources of five hospitals to send one person to Pennsyl­vania for instruction. In most states, Vocational Edu­cation groups are assisting with the program. It was emphasized that this is not a new group that will be taught, nor are they to be licensed. The program is decidedly in line with our general aim of giving top-notch nursing care to patients.

Among the Headquarters persons that assisted with the meeting was Anna Fillmore, General Director. There were eight in all, and they proved very capable in answer­ing questions to problems posed by representatives.

A final piece of business was the discussion of regional divisions for the NLN. A mimeographed map depicting the tentative proposed regions was given each participant. So many national organizations have found it necessary to have regional structure in order to effectively carry on the business that it is not surprising that we feel the same. The A H A , AM A, A P H A , A R C , and U. S. Health, Edu­cation and Welfare Department are some of the organi­zations having regional organizations.

DOES N. C. H A V E A N E E D TO PARTICIPATE IN

T H E NURSING A I D E T R A I N I N G P R O G R A M ?

The Nursing Aide Training Project is a program sponsored by the American Hospital Association, the U. S. Public Health Service, and the National League for Nurs­ing. This program is designed to bring instruction in nursing techniques to a large group of hospital workers who now give much of the nursing care to patients in all types of hospitals—general, tuberculosis, psychiatric, and nursing homes. The busy staff nurse who has more and more treatments and medications of ever-increasing com­plexity finds little time to give adequate supervision to those non-professional persons on the staff that give physi­cal care to patients, let alone being able to teach techniques to the new employee. Consequently, these workers receive their instruction from other aides or orderlies. Sometimes it is good but more frequently it is of very poor quality. The patient of course, expects the personal attendants to be very thoroughly trained to give him the kind of care he needs to recover with a measure of comfort and safety. Is his confidence always well placed ?

It could be, and with a minimum of expense, if we could see our way clear to join the other states who are participating in the national Nursing Aide Training Pro­ject. North Carolina is one of nine or ten states who have not joined this tremendously important program. It is hard to believe that we do not need the program in this state. Any administrator who has seen the broadening of the types of dut'es that are now performed by these non­professional workers can scarcely be indifferent to the need. It is hard to determine where professional duties start in the nursing field, when you consider what tasks non-professional workers perform in the sundry institu-

t

tions. An A N A survey shows that 13 of every 23 nursing service personnel are non-nurses. These workers need excellent training. They have wide differences in their formal schooling. The know-how to teach them economi­cally is beyond the scope of the busy ward nurse.

What more economical and sure way of improving the quality of nursing being performed in North Carolina hospitals than for those responsible for these workers to join this excellent national project? But it will take co­operation among the health groups. It will take financing, too. But it is not expensive. Our present method of giving hasty instruction to each new employee as he comes into the service is the expensive kind of training. The poor public relations that poor ly trained personnel cause when patients become disgusted with their bungling, the equip­ment that must be replaced soon because it is misused by unskilled workers ; the diseases that are spread by the un­knowing hands of the ward worker ; these are the uncal-culably high prices we pay for our present method of training ward workers in nursing service.

The immediate acceptance and acclaim that the nursing aide training program receives in the states that have used it proves its worth. It is based on the war-proven Job Instruction Training method, with a centrally located workshop course to train nurse instructors to teach the nursing aides who have very wide differences in educational

Ibackground. Those who wish to learn the full details of

the program will find them very well explained in " H o s ­

pital Nursing Newsletter" N L N , September, 1954, and

January 1955 issues.

Let us make a New Year ' s resolution to get behind this

very worthy and productive program and bring it to Nor th

Carolina's health institutions!

Reports of the Institute, "The W a y s and Means of Implementing the LTse of the N e w Flexible Standards as They Relate to Program Planning, which ivas held during December, 1954 at Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Raleigh indicate that it was as interesting as such a program can be, and that it stimulated much thought while clarifying problems that participants had in their own school situ­ations. This Institute was given under the joint sponsor­ship of the N. C. Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education and the N. C. League for Nursing. The objec-

: tive was to help North Carolina schools of nursing to plan a more effective curriculum under the new standards.

An analysis of attendance showed that a total of 304 persons attended the three institutes: Winston-Salem 67, Charlotte 142, and Raleigh 95. Attendance was from 32 schools of nursing, six public health agencies, three hos­pitals offering affiliation programs and two hospitals with­out schools of nursing. In the above group were hospital administrators, students in hospital administration, chap­lains in hospitals, librarians in schools of nursing, as well as administrators in nursing service, educational directors, instructors, supervisors, head nurses, staff nurses, private and general duty nurses and student nurses. Could there be a more representative cross-section of those influential and interested in the kind of education Nor th Carolina nurses will receive?

The Executive Secretary and the two Educational Con­sultants from the Office of the Board attended all three

Jin meetings and were delighted though a hit amazed at the

degree of diversity in which each program was developed. The lively discussions following the formal presentation of program were most encouraging to the planning com­mittee, who always has to spend so many long hours pre­paring for the programs.

il/aA-c Important Decisions. The Third Annual Convention to be held March 31-April 1, 1 9 5 5 at Asheville is one of the most important meetings you could attend. Two important changes in the Constitution and Bylaws will be voted on :

( 1 ) R E D U C T I O N I X D U E S , and ( 2 ) E N L A R G I N G the N C L N B O A R D O F D I R E C T O R S .

Read the proposed changes published in this issue and decide what is good for N U R S I N G , then come and vote. Learn About NC Nursing. The program Committee has been working like beavers to assemble a wealth of partici­pants to explore and develop the theme, " P R O G R E S S T O ­W A R D B E T T E R H E A L T H . " Even a casual perusal of the tentative program which is printed on the second page will reveal how capably and interestingly the progress made in North Carolina relating to health resources and nursing will be presented.

I Fun, too. Knowing the Planning Committee, there is little doubt in our minds that pleasure aplenty will be mixed

I with work. The best part of these meetings is seeing the | friendly folks you have met about the state, breaking bread | with them, and just enjoying their company. Sort of gives

you the urge and determination to do bigger and better things for nursing in the coming year. Meet nationally known persons. Miss Rhobia Taylor, Field Consultant for the Committee on Careers, N L N , will be

at the meeting. She is a friendly, well informed person who has lots of public relations know-how. Lucile Petry Leone, whom the committee hopes to have as a luncheon speaker, is known everywhere, and especially in North Carolina. She knows nursing and health, and can put her ideas across in a most interesting manner.

ARE NCLN DUES TOO H I G H ?

A chronic complaint that we have listened to is that $ 1 5 a year is too high for annual dues for N C L N . Of course, the N L N dues are $ 5 , leaving $ 1 0 to carry on the business of your league on the state level. Dues Must Cover Expenses. Paying dues is like paying taxes—it hurts. And yet, they both go to pay the expenses of providing services that the members have voted to pro­vide for themselves. The one big difference is that taxes must be levied to provide the funds for the expense of all the services. However, it is impossible for us to estimate the value of the tremendous service that elected officers and committee members provide without charge. They fre­quently pay expenses from their own pockets and never think to submit bills to recover expenses. Should a few persons pay the expenses of an organization they are seiwing ? Dues Belated to Objectives. The N C L N ' s objective is to foster the development and improvement of nursing serv­ices through coordinated action of nurses, allied profes­sional groups, and others, so that the nursing needs of people will be met. The members have decided how this objective will be met by its constitution and bylaws and actions taken in meetings. Dues must be set to meet the expenses of these programs.

Expenditures of Dues

The Report of the Finance Committee shows the annual expenditures as fol lows:

Total Receipts - $4,394.00 F r o m m e m b e r s h i p d u e s _ 3,735.00 F r o m regis t ra t ion f e e s — n o n - m e m b e r , institutes 659.00

A complete financial report is printed and distributed to those attending the Animal Meeting. Your copy awaits you there.

A N A L Y S I S

A brief look at the report reveals that the largest single expenditure is N A T I O N A L d u e s . X L X dues help to finance many important functions of the League. Through its departments the X L X now carries more programs than all the combined organizations that merged to form the present X L X . But dues do not take care of the financial needs of the X L X . The Kellogg Foundation, Xational Tuberculosis Association, Xational Foundation for Infan­tile Paralysis, the ('on in ion wealth Fund, and others have contributed sums of money which have helped to carry forward the aims of Xursing.

C O M B I N E D P R O G R A M S were the second largest expenditure. Nearly 500 persons attended the three insti­tutes held in December, January, and February. These were planned and sponsored by both divisions of X C L X . The programs were most interesting and educational.

The N E W S L E T T E R was the third largest item. This news sheet was sent to all hospitals, health organizations and schools of nursing in addition to members during the year. The Editorial Committee tried very hard to bring developments to the nursing public. We found it difficult because we all had our regular positions to take care of.

N C L N w e d s , n , E X E C U T I V E S E C R E T A R Y . The

l a c k of a permanent address, coordinator of information and services, and p r o p e r equipment to carry on its business severely handicaps t he efforts of the officers and committee members. An executive secretary, with full time or part time duties, would make our dollars more effective, our objectives easier to attain. Should we plan to have these

things some day? Can we have them if we reduce the dues?

L A R G E M E M B E R S H I P O U R A I M . The objectives of the organization can best be carried out by a large number of persons who are interested in providing better and better nursing for the North Carolina community. It is hoped by some that lower dues will attract more members, and in the end we have a larger budget to provide more services for programs and services to Xorth Carolinians.

Let's vote the right way at the Annual Meeting—for the good of N U R S I N G , as* a C O M M U N I T Y S E R V I C E .

Vol 3, No. 3 June, 1955

Dear Members:

I am grateful to you all for giving me the privilege of actively participating with you in efforts to promote better nursing in North Carolina through furthering the objec­tives of the League. All of you who attended the Third Annual Convention in Asheville must hare been inijiressed by the evidence of progress already made in medical care and nursing education.

Perhaps our greatest need for 195-5 and the future is increased membership. Many of us like to sit on the side­lines, accepting the results of others' work and criticizing their mistakes. There can be no real progress made as long as the Health professions follow this practice. The North Carolina, League for Nursing has something to offer each nurse and interested person in the state. But even the best planned program is inadequate unless it receives the active support of all concerned.

The Board of Directors joins me in urging each of you to participate in and support the League program and to stimulate interest in the League among your co-workers. I know each of you will accept your personal responsibility in-promoting the work of the League and will enjoy a most satisfying year.

Since rely. MARIE L. LOWE President

DUES SLASHED! Dues for NCLN $10 beginning 1956. One of the most important actions taken at the Third Annual Meeting was the reduction of annu fr« «1 R -T<j-W, beginning to ±y>.

January, 1955. So deeply concerned were the well wishers of X C L X , that the Resolutions Committee drafted the following resolution which was adopted:

Whereas, this assembled body did yesterday vote to reduce the dues of this organization and. Whereas, the only way we can offset this loss of revenue is by doubling or tripling membership, and. Whereas, the objectives of this organization can best be met by a large membership, Be it therefore resolved, that each of us leave this meeting firmly determined to cause at least five new members to join this organization in 1955. We surely hope that those health workers who have in

the past declared their desire to support league activities if only clues were only more "reasonable" will find the way open to them to put their words into action.

Honorary membership was conferred on Florence Wilson, former Dean, Duke University School of Xursing, at the annual meeting. Everyone who attended the meeting seemed very pleased that this action had been taken. Miss Wilson has been one of our most inspiring leaders in nursing education for many years. She told us that she surely plans- on continuing her interest in nursing even though she has retired. Naturally, we were glad to hear her say so.

M A R G A R E T G . A R N S T E I N A T T E N D E D M E E T I N G

Margaret G. Arnstein, Chief, Division of Xurs ing Resources, Bureau of Medical Service, Dept. of Healtb, Education and Welfare, U. S. P. H. S., spoke at the con­vention in Asheville. She came in place of Mrs. Leone, who was unable to attend our annual meeting as planned. Miss Arnstein was most helpful. She reviewed the statis­tics that relate to numbers of nurses per population, show­ing that in 1940 there were 225 nurses per 100,000 population while in 1950 there were 249. She further pointed out that Ave now have a shorter work week for hospital personnel and three tours per day; that medical care has become more technical than ever, with a more rapid turnover in patients; thus, even though many more nurses are now in the field, the heavy demand for their services still leaves shortages in some areas.

P A N E L S R E V E A L I N C R E A S E S I N M E D I C A L C A R E A N D I N N U R S I N G

Progress in hospital facilities and in nursing and nursing education was clearly revealed in two panels. The work of the Medical Care Commission, Blue Cross asso­ciations, Duke Endowment, and other groups was reviewed.

Four thousand four hundred and forty-four beds for patients were completed by June 30, 1954, 414 were under

construction and 5 4 4 were in the planning stage. X o w only 15 counties are without hospital facilities. These are small, having less than of the population. More nurses needed.

This increase in beds available has created a need for even more nursing care. In 1947, 147,000 persons were blue cross members; in 1954, 268,000 persons had joined. More and more rural persons are making use of pre-payment plans to help them meet the cost of hospitalization. Advances in Collegiate programs.

There are now four collegiate nursing programs in Xor th Carolina, with 384 students enrolled in them. U X C graduated its first class this year. Three hundred faculty members of schools of nursing in Xor th Carolina now have degrees—a much needed improvement. The Loan Fund of the Medical Care Commission.

Requirements for making use of this fund to finance basic program were reviewed.

1. Applicant must have resided in Xor th Carolina for eight previous years.

2. Must practice nursing in community A v i t h population of less than 2,500 for two years after graduation.

3. Loan must be assured. A life insurance policy to cover amount of loan is required.

4. Passing medical examination 30 days before applying.

5. Xeed for loan must be substantiated.

6. Loan must be repaid beginning six months after grad­uation.

7. The amount that can be borrowed.

a. Diploma program—maximum $700 (1st year, $300, 2nd year, $200, 3rd year, $200) .

b. Collegiate program—maximum $1200. (1st year, $810, 2nd year, $250, 3rd year, $140) .

One nurse has used the Loan Fund to date.

Second Loan Fund.

A second loan fund was enacted in 1943, primarily in­tended for doctors and nurses in psychiatry. Users of the fund must serve in a state hospital one year for every year loan is made. Xo refund of the money is required. 1,06k students in 1955

There were 1,064 students enrolled in Xor th Carolina diploma programs in 1955. This is well over the 600 per annum goal set in 1950. 2,90S LPNs in N. C.

A total of 2,903 licensed practical nurses now are in X o r t b Carolina. There are eight practical nurse schools, with 600 students enrolled each year. The effect of licen­sure by waiver on those who worked hard to graduate from school was discussed in some detail, and in pessimistic vein. Subsidiary personnel in hospitals increased.

There were 118 non-nurses in nursing services in hos­pitals in 1943. Ten years later 3,480 non-nurses were working in hospitals. This number is on the increase. Salaries of nurses have increased.

In 1943, the cost of nursing service was $1.14 per patient day. In 1953 it was $4 .47 , a very substantial in­crease. One wonders, of course, how much this reflects the shorter work week rather than largely increased salary of individual nurses. The fact that the cost of living for everyone has far outrun any increase of salary benefit for the nurse, frequently leaves the nurse in worse financial stress than she was in former years, even with the cloister­like subsistence the hospital provided for her.

O R G A N I Z I N G A F A C U L T Y F O R A C T I O N This is an edited version of an excellent speech given by Willetta S. Jones, Dean, School of Xursing, A <i- T College,

Greensboro in December, 1954, at an Institute on Problems in the Field of Xursing.

HOW MAY A FACULTY BE ORGANIZED FOR ACTION

It is an esteemed privilege to take part in this institute on problems in the field of nursing. The areas we will be considering are those involved in implementing curricula in our schools of nursing under a policy of "flexible stand­ards."

Our question for discussion at this point is—"How may a faculty be organized for action V Organizing a faculty for action is an art that we can best approach by knowing and applying basic principles each in our re­spective way and in relation to our particular situation. The value of our discussion today will be in our mutual exploration of principles and possible approaches to the problem.

Summarizing, the principles that may be drawn from the statement of our problem, "How may a faculty be organized for action ?"

1. Flexibility should be shown in adapting any plan for action which has improvement in program as its pur­pose.

2. Participation in program changes should be the re­sponsibility of all those involved in the process.

3. Administrative leadership should be designed to set in motion and to sustain the process.

4. The opportunity to achieve tangible results should be provided the action group. These principles are drawn from the statement of the

problem—

This scrutiny of the problem to find what principles for action are included, may of itself suggest various ap­proaches. In a more detailed way, one might state the problem,—What methods in flexible planning may the administrator employ to allow for group participation in a process that will result in tangible action ?

T E C H N I C A L COMPETENCE

V S H U M A N R E L A T I O N S

Several years ago, Dr. Alexander Magoun, Associate Professor in Human Relations at M I T , lamented the fact that although engineers were being taught machinery, lawyers were being taught laws and jurisprudence, clergy­men theology, and doctors and nurses anatomy and materia medica; at the same time, little attention was given in their education to the understanding of human behavior.

There still exists a lag in this area even though it is realized that many of these persons will soon be in positions requiring the utmost skill in dealing with people but little of the technical know-how in which they have been drilled.

The need for skills in human relations is not peculiar to nursing. However, our focus here is on nursing. A study of the curricula in nursing programs on the undergraduate level shows that only within recent years has there been inclusion of courses such as dynamics of behavior or inter-personnel relations in nursing.

I am emphasizing this point because the approaches suggested by the preceding analysis of the problem are based on the concept that successful action will be depen­dent upon human relations.

H U M A N R E L A T I O N S A P P R O A C H E S

At this point, our consideration will be of the ap­proaches that are involved if the director is concerned with her supportive role in human relations as the faculty tries to work together.

1. By providing an encouraging atmosphere. 2. By contributing to group unity. 3. By helping to define limits of responsibilty and au­

tonomy. 4. By encouraging experimental approaches. 5. By supplying opportunities for leadership.

The encouraging atmosphere. We know that in the creative process of changing program in nursing the indi­vidual becomes most involved. The group feeling must be such that each member feels free to express new ideas and such that she does not feel on the defensive when these new ideas are criticized. This does not imply license to speak without thought or without regard for others; it does mean that reasonable viewpoints should be given an ear. There is no room for scorn or ridicule, no room for causing fear of making a suggestion, no room for saying it can't be done.

Administration sets the keynote of atmosphere. A facial or verbal communication suggesting a restrictive influence may cause a member with a new idea to restrain her voice. At that moment the entire building process will have lost some of its effectiveness.

The importance of the job. Another approach to pro­vide an atmosphere that will encourage action is by con­veying to the group the importance of the task to be done. All of us today are faced with too many things to be done with too few persons to do them. We must set priorities and exercise value judgments.

If the key purpose for our program is to prepare and assist nurses to give improved patient care, then we must implement methods by which this objective may be accom­plished. This is not easy. The conflicting demands on those in positions of dual responsibility increase the difficulty of the problem. If in our busy schedules some actions must be decided upon the basis of expediency—this approach should not become our overall policy of action. We must dis­tinguish between incidents and trends and keep our eyes focused on the latter.

In the proportion that things are administratively im­portant they also become important to the other members of the school. If the administrator's attitude is: Do this when your time allows—chances are that time will never allow.

Externalize the problem. Another factor that must be considered in providing an encouraging atmosphere is that which might be called "externalizing" the over-all problem. If persons outside of those who teach—other departments

in the hospital or in the communi ty—may be made aware of the problem being faced, support and encouragement may come from those "external" areas.

Problems such as increasing the supply of nurses and gaining financial support needed for the program are prob­lems shared by the school, the Board, the hospital, and the community . A new piece of teaching equipment or added furnishings for the nurses residence may encourage the staff, and yet, few of these can be realized unless we are willing to "externalize" and to share our plans and prob­lems with those beyond our immediate circle.

Group Unity. The point of communicat ion with persons outside of the immediate circle raises the thought of how important it is to have adequate communications within the circle. This involves more than the use of words. We must be aware of t iming and emotional reactions. Thorough exploration and study of a problem area by a study com­mittee can hardly be effectively communicated to the total g roup at 5 :00 p.m. on the last day of a busy week !

Defining limits of responsibilitu and autonomy. These limits of responsibility are understood by clarification of specific j ob requirements in relation to the over-all action process. In order for the faculty member to feel secure in whatever task she is assuming, she must know what is expected of her and how far she may go. The term, limits of autonomy, is here used in relation to understanding one's individual role within the group and the individual's necessary regard for the rights and privileges of others.

Experimental approach encouraged. If the process of action is to be a truly creative one in which the faculty may become involved, it is evident that experimental approaches must be encouraged. As one administrator has said, "One of the evidences of skilled leadership is the ability to trust people to do a new j o b . "

Proride " O p p o r t u n i t y f o r leadership. The approaches that have been spoken of are of little value unless there are concomitantly provided opportunities for leadership. As humorously stated in one of the ten commandments for administrators, " T h o u shalt 'Let George do it' for thus only may he show that he can."

The administrator who desn't have the time and pa­tience to assist emerging leadership is denying herself of support. It is not unusual to see administrative reluctance

in releasing leadership opportunities and yet you will recall that this was one of the first principles of adminis­tration learned by Moses as he led the Israelites to the Promised Land. Whi le in the wilderness it had been his custom to sit and judge the people brought before him from morning unto evening. When his father-in-law came to the encampment he was amazed and said,

"The thing that thou doest is not good : Thou wilt surely'wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone, Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, . . .and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens :

A n d let them judge the people at all seasons : and it shall be that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge : so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee."

" A n d they shall bear fhe burden with thee".

Yes , the followers of Moses were provided with oppor­tunities for becoming involved in the total task. For faculty groups to become involved in this action of change they, too, must have and accept leadership tasks. No t the tasks of a "busy type", but of actually being committed to the accomplish!? if major responsibilities.

Our grei pe for effective action ^as we approach the implemt cf flexible standards and the improve­ment of pi giuraa in nursing education, lies in the develop­ment of improved social interaction. We have the tools ; the challenge lies in knoAving how to use them.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

State Headquarters for the North Carolina League for Nursing have been established, as of September 1, 1955, at 119 North Columbia Street, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The need for headquarters with office assistance has long been recognized. It has taken time, planning and courage to take this important step. And not the least, the generousity of M r . Will iam S. Stewart, Attorney and Counsellor at Law, for arrangements to share his office with us and M r s . Mary Frances Simmons to serve as part time secretary. Our name will be on the door and we will be listed in the next telephone directory. Congratulations and thanks to our Board of Direc­tors for taking this progressive step for us.

OUR GOAL A CHALLENGE - - -

Dear Friends:

You need the North Carolina League for Nurs­ing and the League needs you if this organization is to attain its goal of improved nursing services and nursing education to better meet the health needs of the people of North Carolina.

This past summer the Board of Directors, N C L N , took the first step towards establish­ing a permanent headquarters to facilitate an expanded program of work in the state. The suc­cess of this venture will be in proportion to the continued active support of the present member­ship combined with additional support from more nurses and friends of nurses in North Carolina.

If you are a member now pay your 1956 dues and be responsible for recruiting at least one new member for this organization.

Supporting the League through dues and partici­pation in its various activities will be a reward­ing experience. The strength of any organization is in its membership.

Help the NCNL to grow by belonging in 1956.

Sincerely yours,

rvkrie Lowe, President

Dear Friends:

In 1956 the NCLN has a wonderful opportu­nity and challenging objective --to at least double membership in the League. Dues have been reduced from $15 to $10 bringing membership within financial range of many more of our friends.

I hope that everyone of the NCLN's 247 current standard bearers will consider them­selves honorary members of the Membership Committee and actively recruit for the League The right word spoken in contact with a friend could add a member. If you want membership blanks, contact the League's new Headquarters, 119 North Columbia St. , Chapel Hill, N. C.

The benefits and advantages to membership in the NCLN are ever increasing and are obtainable for reduced dues. Let's meet the challenge, take advantage of the opportunity and double NCLN membership in 1956.

Sincerely yours,

C. Scott Venable, Chairman Membership Committee

Nursing Techniques Conference at Oteen

Veterans Administration nurses from eight southeastern states gathered May 19-20 at VA Hospital, Oteen, N. C. for the Second Annual "Nursing Techniques Conference". More than 150 nurses from 17 VA hospitals attended. The conference was planned for the staff nurse with emphasis on research in nursing procedures with a view toward patient safety and toward economy of time, effort and materials in carrying out nursing techniques.

The groups use a variety of methods in making their presentations--skits, chalk talks, demonstrations, and even a puppet show. The puppet show, "Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow", used to demonstrate how medical trends affect nursing was most unique and timely.

An analysis session was held the second day of the conference wherein the conferees review­ed the procedures demonstrated to determine how modern advances in medicine are affecting nursing techniques. Questions from the floor on this subject were handled by a panel composed of nurses from hospitals representing various medical specialties.

Miss Cecilia H. Hauge, Director of Nursing Service, Veterans Administration, was honored at a dinner in the evening, May 19. Miss Hauge was the featured speaker the second day of the conference.

Congratulations to several of our NCLN members for recognization received from the National League for Nursing.

Mrs . Margaret Dolan was invited to direct a conference jointly sponsored by the NLN Tuberculosis Nursing Advisory Service, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the National Tuberculosis Association in New York City October 9-16. Public health nurse faculty members from universities with approved programs for preparing graduate nurses for beginning positions in public health nursing will join representatives of fifteen selected public health nursing agencies to work together on curriculum development in tuberculosis nursing and public health.

Miss Lucy Boylan was elected chairman of the Committee on Nominations, Division of Nursing Services, NLN, at the Biennial Convention in St. Louis, May, 1955.

Miss Vivian M. Culver was appointed to the six member Blue Print Committee for structur­ing the NLN State Board Test Pool examinations. As a participant on this committee Miss Culver represents the southeastern states.

Did You Know That

All schools of nursing in North Carolina provide for learning experience in psychiatric nursing except one.

Several of our schools of nursing are preparing now to submit their applications for full accreditation by NLN.

First, representative individuals yet to join the NCLN include a college president, a dentist, a practical nurse - - t o mention only a few.

Probably the greatest increase in new membership for any representative group will be the public health nurses.

All cards received in the Board office after December 5, 1955 will not be processed until after January 1, 1956 and the sender will not receive her r e ­newal card until after the middle of January, 1956.
