Among the questions for which researchers are seeking Echoing the A. A.

For this Mary Jane, the reluctant learner, ties? At what point the answer cannot be reduced to the uncomplicated did each of them level of Milne's "rice pudding for dinner again." There seems to be no reason why she cannot get along better in school. She comes from a family that can by no means be considered underprivi­ leged. She goes to an excellent school situated in a middle to upper-class neighborhood. Ac­ cording to the measurements provided by intel­ ligence tests, Mary Jane is a bright child. But this fact would escape the notice of anyone who ex­ amined her school report card-her grades are far below the class average. And Mary Jane seems to be obstinately disinclined to do anything about it. She completes her homework only when nagged into it by an exasperated parent. In the classroom her attention wavers and wanders. Ac­ cording to Mary Jane, teachers pick on her and her parents expect too much of her. Her school work, Mary Jane feels, is quite beyond her abilities and she has long since given up appearing to try. This child, typical of so many others, is the despair of her parents and teachers, who have tried everything, and more. Nagging, threat, punishment have all failed to move her. Mary Jane's trouble is diagnosed in scholastic circles as '''underachievement.'' Because of the distress it causes, and its prevalence in our nation's classrooms, under­ achievement has become a major educational problem.

7 Not every nursing student has "always wanted to be a nurse." For some, it is true, the determination started in early childhood, with the practice of primitive nursing arts through the bewildered cooperation of a patient pet. For others, it developed gradually, until some time in the high school years it was recognized as an established intent. However or whenever the desire developed, the motivation is strong. It has to be. fL The work is hard, the hours are long for the student learning to take her place as a professional nurse. She has so much to learn-classroom subjects, basic

8 routines and specialized skills, and the discipline of n1ind and heart that is essential to the good nurse. fL Her feet get tired, her brain gets tired, her soul gets tired. She has doubts. Can she do it? Is it worth it? fL And something happens. It may be as small and as fleeting as a smile from a sick baby, solemn and frightened since he entered the hospital. It may be as dramatic as the realization that her skill has had a part in turning a critically ill patient toward recovery. fL Easy? No. Re­ warding? Yes, infinitely!

9 HE KNOWLEDGE, the skill, and the understanding T that the good nurse must have are carefully developed in the undergraduate program of the University's Department of Nursing. Because it be­ lieves that education for nursing must begin with a liberal education, its students spend the first half of their four-year course gaining a broad and basic knowledge of the natural and social sciences and the humanities.

Linda learns in many ways. Basic to everything she will do is the knowledge she acquires from text­ books, classrooms, and laboratories.

Linda Dellinger, a senior from Reading, Pa., like many of her classmates spent her freshman and sophomore years in the University's College of Arts and Science. (Others have transferred to the De­ partment of Nursing from a variety of liberal arts colleges.) Although Linda values her experience as an arts college student, she has found an even greater satisfaction in her collegiate work since she began her concentration in nursing. On the following pages, the Review has taken Linda back to the beginning of her educational ex­ periences in nursing, and has projected her a bit into the future-to the day when she is privileged to wear two hats: the nurse's white cap, now circled by the symbolic black band, and the academic mor­ tarboard, emblem of her attainment of the degree, Bachelor of Science with a major in Nursing. Linda begins to learn about the functions and responsibilities of the professional nurse in the course on fundamentals of nursing practice. Nurses care for people, and right from the beginning, Linda spends several hours a week in the clinical divisions, supplementing what she has learned in the classroom.

She gains under­ standing of the structure and functions of the human body in her study of anatomy and physiology. At the same time she is trying to master the course work in micro­ biology and nutrition. Spring term, junior year, she is ready to A nurse's responsibility in the use of drugs spend more time learning by doing, in helping to is great. Studies in pharmacology give her care for adults with acute or chronic illness. respect for what they can do and how they work.

Two views of the classroom: Up front, Linda reports to her classmates on results of an independent study; then she joins other medical personnel in attending hospital lecture. In the first term of her senior year, Linda concentrates on learning the care of sick children, and how to look after new mothers and their babies.

Some of her education is extramural. She gains experience in working with handicapped children through field trips to community agencies. M are than medicine is needed Linda takes part in the exchange of in the care of sick babies. information among doctors, nurses, students.

Intent, Linda listens for heartbeat of unborn infant. abstetrical service teaches her care of mothers from the beginning of the maternity cycle. The need for care extends beyond the walls of the hospital. Toward the end of her senior year, Linda visits patients in their homes in her course in public health nursing.

Time off for diversion: normal, necessary, and fun. In all of her work so far, Linda has been learning to understand the emotional, as well as the physical, side of illness. Now she gets experience with the mentally ill in her study of psychiatric nursing.

So much to think about. Linda spends some minutes in solitary reflection. Nearly ready to graduate, Linda thinks about the future. In nursing, there is no shortage of jobs; Linda's enviable problem lies in decid­ ing which of them to accept~in hospital or public health nursing, or, perhaps, in Peace Corps service. In making her plans, she gets experienced advice from Eleanor Hall, chairman of the Department of Nursing. Although Linda will graduate in June, she has two further requirements to meet: a final summer session course, and a licensing examination.

Last course, in management of nursing care, centers on the nurse's part in planning for the care of groups of patients, as well as individuals.
