Nursing school earns grant
By PETER MEAD
Of the Emerald
The University of Oregon
School of Nursing in Portland has
received a federal grant for the
third straight year to support its
rapid growth.
Four other community colleges
and three other foir-year colleges
also received grants, totalling
$261,510 for Oregon schools.
The University of Oregon nurs
ing school received the largest
grant, $95,570.
According to Assistant Dean
Ruth Weins, the school quaffied
for the grant by showing an in
crease of 10 students over the
previous year’s enrollment.
Weins says the gram* has sup
ported an additional 15 students in
the past. She said she is unable to
estimate yet how much increased
enrollment it will support this year.
‘‘Additional teaching,” Weins
said," is where we’ve always
spent this grant, and that’s where
we re going to spend ft. Rather
than putting it into equipment, we
try to put it into additional people.
Dean of the school Jean Boyle
says the Nursing Capitation
Grant, allows the school flexibility.
It comes in yearly, she said, as
compared to the state funds,
which come in every two years.
“It’s made us able to release
our faculty to make effective im
provements in teaching and re
visions of curriculum," Boyle said.
The school uses this money to
get half-time instructors, so that
leading faculty members can sec
ure grants to extend school prog
rams or initiate new ones.
As examples of how the fund
has helped the school to experi
ment and expand, Boyle listed crit
ical care, pediatric nurse prac
titioners and advanced prepara
tion of nurses for psychiatric and
community health.
Weins estimated about 10 per
cent of the school’s enrollment
comes from the University. Com
munity colleges and state col
leges around the state contribute
the rest.

ments to the school draw the stu
dents, rather than the fact that it is
the only state school in Oregon
with a four-year baccalaureate
nursing program.
The school graduated 154 from
its baccalaureate program this
June. Boyle said this represents a
high rate of students completing
the program.
Although the University nursing
school also has a masters prog
ram, this grant was given only to
the undergraduate program.
In 1973-74, the school received
$111,122 from the Nurs
ing Capitation Grant Program. In
1974-75, it received $197,453.
Boyle explained that this year’s
grant cut of more than $100,000
was not due to fluctuations in the
school’s enrollment.
“This country is not always con
sistent in what priority it gives
health,” she said.
The Budget Bureau cut Con
gress’ appropriation for the Nurs
ing Capitation Grant Program this
year, she said, trying to trim the
budget.
The country’s health needs,
Boyle said, “demand a great in
crease in terms of quality as well
as quantity of nursing manpower ’
“At the same time,” she says,
“we haven’t had as much support
as other professions. Our only
hassle is getting enough money
from the Legislature.”
