U. South Bend campus Nursing, according to Mrs. Chapman, goes further hack than the Crusades. Apparently, she said, modern nursing began with Florence Nightingale. "Lady with a Lamp." an English nurse, reformer of hospital conditions and procedures —a reorganizer. Mrs. Chapman said that nursing has changed in many ways since her first assignment as a R.N. in 1948 at the LaPortc Hospital. At that time she noted there were but two classifications for nurses, R.N.'s and practical nurses. Today there are several levels of nurses which are designated by training and experience. In the future she said it is hoped that primary care will take place with one R.N. writing a nursing care plan that all nurses and aides on every shift would follow. In this way she said continuity in nursing care would be insured. It is important said Mrs. Chapman that there be a good relationship between nurse and patient. This however, she commented, could be affected by preconceived ideas of patients and nurses about each other, to wit, to look like someone you loved or disliked! She told that nurses must always keep in mind the patients basic needs, his psychological safety and security, to let the patient know he is loved and belongs and to have him keep his self esteem. Hospitals today have nursing teams, diagnostic teams. X-ray laboratory technicians, surgical teams, dietary teams, rehabilitation teams and social service teams all working together to assure optimal patient care which results in greater satisfaction for the patient and family, the physician, the hospital and the community. Included in Mrs. Chapman's talk was the "Patients Rights." She displayed a chart showing it is the patient’s right 1) To retuse treatment but to be informed of the medical consequences of such action. 2) To accesable health care which meets professional standards. 3) To know diagnosis. 4) To know who is giving the care and their classifications. 5) To privacy, 6) To give permission to be ob served w hile receiving a treatment, 7) To his records and 8) To chall-
