Arrangements are now be G
made by Mrs. Mildred B. Isaacs,
R. N, instructor in the Practical
Nurse course, with elementary
schools to assist with S d e t
Practical Nurses in the course in
their participation and observation
of the normal well child. T h s
plan was decided on in lieu of a
regularly organized kindergarten
in which the Student Practical
Nurse might work. The Practical
Nurse course requires that each
student enrolled complete a re-
quired number of hours in associa-
ton with young children, giving
them an opportunity to observe
normal behavior at work, at play,
at lunch, and at other activities
Later the Practical Nurse enrollee
will complete a required number
of hours in clinical experience in
hospitals where she will be under
the supervision of a Registered
Nurse. In the hospital the Student
Practical Nurse will be able to OBJ
serve and learn to care for the ill
child.
Arrangements have been made
through Mr.. Chester T. Dickerson,
Mr.. Leon B. Elder, Dr. Kenneth
c. Madden, and Dr. j. A. VanSant,
chief school administrators of the
Milford, Laurel, Seaford, and Re-
hoboth High Schools, and M s.
Ernestine l. a B r, Elementary
Principal of the Lewes School, for
Student Practical Nurses to take
their clinical experience in the 1st
grades of the elementary schools
in those districts. School officials
at the Center have not been able
to complete arrangements with the
Georgetown Elementary School to
assist with the girls enrolled in
the Practical Nurse course from
the Georgetown High School.
