Paper 12.http://jdc.jefferson.edu/caps_and_capes/12TO THE SENIOO.S As September draws upon us we realize that another year has come to an end and another graduation will take place . Graduation, though is not an end but the beginning of your chosen profession. You are ready to 'try your wings' that you grew through the periods of strain and struggle. Budda once said, "If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought , happiness will follow him, like a shadow that never leaves him." So be it with you . Continue to be as proud of the nursing profession as you are now. In giving compassion and aid to your patients, continue to give it with the simplicity and goodness that you possessed as a student . Then and only then will your goal of becoming a nu r se be truly complete. We bid you a fond farewell and along with it the best of e very-thing life has to offer.

She has a f r iendl y manner with everyone she come s in cont act wi t h , including students . She enjoys discussions on current thinking and talks t o student s about their ideas and thoughts. She comes from Shamokin in northern Pennsyl vania. After gradu-ation from high school t here, she a t tended Pol ycl inic Hospital in Harrisburg. Upon graduation fr om the three years of intense t ra ining, she furthered her educat ion by successfull y compl eting two and one - hal f years at Temple Universit y. She now has her BS degree in e ducat i on. From there she became an obstetrical clinical i nstructor at JMCH SON. She remained in this position f or two years then t r ansfe r red t o the position of gynec ological instruc tor a year and a hal f a go . Outside of he r capacities as instructor t o j unior and senior students, her social interests include concerts, plays, spec t a t or sport s , swimming, and in the winter, ice s kating . On a rainy evening you might find her intent upon a current nove l or knitting a sweater f or s ome one special . By now I'm su re you know of whom I spe a k - Mi ss Jud i th Lynch, Gyne Clinical Ins t ructor , l ocated on 10th Annex. He r most curren t position is one of t he t wo facult y advise rs t o St udent Counc i l. I t is to her that many probl ems wi ll come t hat ne ed t o be ironed out between faculty and students. Miss Lynch had t hi s t o say a bou t her newl y a ppo inted pos i t i on . "I' m l ooking f orwa rd t o a ver y en t hus i a s t i c year wi t h Studen t Council which we hope will be filled with fun and accomplishment f or the s tudent body." GOOD LUCK, MI SS LYNCH!! THE DELIGHTFUL CREATURE Au thor Unknown Between the i nnocency of an ent rance e xam and t he d ignity of R. N. t here comes the de l ightful creat ure - the s tudent nurse. They come i n assor t ed s i ze s, weight s , and shapes, and they a ll have the very same creed - to en joy e very second of every hour of every day, off and on, and t o protes t with griping (the i r only weapon ) when t he i r f orty hours are ove r and the supervisors are i n the snack bar! Student nurses are found e verywhere - underneat h e ve rything or jumping through, swimming from or r unning ove r . Patients love them, doctors t olerate t hem, and nothing protects them. A student nu rse is truth wi th blood on her unifor m, beauty with gloves on her hands, wisdom wi th B.A.L. i n he r hair, and the future wi th scissors i n her pocket. To the doc t ors a s tuden t nurs e i s an inconsiderat e , ques t ioning , and intrui stic j angle of n o i se. When you want her to make an i mpress ion , she becomes a sadistic , giggling creat u r e , bent on wasting as much t ime as possible and sleeping t hrough classe s . A student nurse is a composite - she has the appetite of a horse , the digestion of an ulcer pat i ent , the ene rgy of an s.s . enema , the lungs of a telephone ope r ator , the i magination of a Vanderbilt grad , the enthusiasm of central supply , t he shar pness of a scapel, t he audac i t y of a nurses' aide, and when she gives injections , s he has five t humbs on either hand. She likes f ood (few pota t oes) , vacat i ons , Chr is tmas , money from home , l ove s t orie s , officer s , wa t e r i n i t s na t u ral habitat , doc t ors , working e l evator s, off duty and f i r e alarms - not to ment ion hands ome l ads wi t h Jaguars. She's not mu ch for books without picture s , ward c l othe s , hair ne ts , s t udy hou r s , me t r ic system and c ampuses. Nobody i s so earl y to r i se and s o l a te to bed ; rto body ge ts s o much out of doc tors and med ical confe rences ; nobody el se can c r am into one day, 3 enemas, 12 complete ba t hs, 3 trips to t he morgue, 2 t rips to the school offi ce , set her me ds up , pre ss he r unifor m, pol ish her s hoes do he r nails , sta y out ' t i l 11 :30 and s t il l ge t a long with her roommat~ .
