    "t Vol. 57 James Madison University Harrisonburg. Virginia Tuesday, February It, lftw No. 34 Faculty hiring to finalize nursing here By TERESA CAVINESS and CINDY ELMORE Few obstacles remain to the establishment of James Madison University's nursing program. "There is every reason to believe the program will start in the fall and no reason to believe it won't," said Marcia Dake, director of the developing program. Dake is former dean of the University of Kentucky College of Nursing, and was hired last summer to initiate a program at JMU. The proposed nursing program was originally approved in January 1977 by the State Board of Nursing. However, the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV) rejected the program several times before its approval last year, based on a study completed by then-Madison College in 1976 which indicated that there was a need for nurses in the Shenandoah Valley. The now-defunct nursing school at Rockingham Memorial Hospital graduated its last class in February 1977. THE PROGRAM will not receive full accreditation until after the first class graduates, and graduates will be screened to see if they can pass state licensing examinations and meet requirements. Since last summer, Dake has been working on the details of setting up a nursing program here. The most critical element yet to be finalized is the hiring of faculty members, she said. One position has been filled and three remain vacant Acquiring skilled and competent faculty members is crucial because they will only have a short time to familiarize themselves with the facilities they will be using in the fall, Dake said.
