8 pus, she was delighted with the new hospital and the clinical facilities and was excited by the challenge of plan- ning a clinical program for students. She helped establish standards of care and procedure which stablized the program for nursing service and the school. She was concerned about re- cruiting nursing staff and experienced supervisory personnel in a rather re-

mote center. She wondered if com- petition with established hospitals would present a problem. She too was concerned about the development of a program in a medical college environ- ment. As time passed these concerns posed less of a problem than expected,

although recruitment of nurses is still a continuing problem for most hospi-

tals. Since Miss Ditchfield was located on the "old house ground" at the At- lanta Division, she was not influenced as much by the change as the others. Like other faculty she was concerned about moving away from a general education environment to a medical center. Frequent travel from Atlanta to Augusta consumed a great deal of her time.

Mrs. Ault recalls teaching the first clinical course and directing the teaching practicum for the University of Georgia nursing students at MCG during the summer of 1955.
