"4 Vt SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 1, 1978 ram To Up Are Nurse Supply In rog A program to increase the supply of baccalaureate pre pared nurses in Eastern Ore gon has received first year funding from the division of nursing, Public Health Ser vice, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The School of Nursing at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center (UOHSC) has received $124, 458 for the first year of a three-year program to offer a baccalaureate degree pro gram to selected students electing to take the nursing major at Eastern Oregon State College (EOSC) in La Grande. With approval from the State Board of Higher Educa ion, the Educational Coordi nating Commission and the Emergency Board, the pro gram is being established through the joint efforts of the UOHSC and EOSC to help meet the health care needs of the Eastern Oregon region. Instructional planning will be the emphasis of the first year of the program. Open to students enrolled in pre nursing at all state institu tions as well as registered nurses who wish to pursue a baccalaureate degree, the pro gram will enroll 60 students , during the three years. Registered nurses will be the first students to be admitted to the program, probably early in 1979, ac cording to Dr. Carol Linde man, dean of the UOHSC School of Nursing, who said generic (pre-nursing) stu dents will be able to enter the program in the fall of 1979. The UOHSC School of Nursing will offer the nursing major while EOSC will offer the supporting coursework in liberal arts and sciences necessary to the major and bachelor's degree. A program coordinator will be hired, and faculty will hold regular ap pointments in the UOHSC School of Nursing along with adjunct appointments at the EOSC. The Eastern Oregon nurs ing project began almost two years ago when Carol Linde man, dean, and Donna Schantz, assistant dean, toured the state to determine as4iia tiina 1 naule in mireintr They found Eastern Oregon "particularly persuasive in showing us needs for educa tion of nurses in that area and the support from EOSC Presi dent Dr. Rodney A. Briggs and EOSC's Health Education Advisory Council encouraged Fair Offers FFA Books Premium books for all Fu ture Farmers of America entries are now available at the main office of the Oregon State Fair.

"Our surveys and studies showed that the specific health care needs identified by the Eastern Oregon region require not only more nurses, but nurses skilled in clinical decision-making and able to assume leadership roles," Dr. Lindt-man said. In 1972 the recommended number of registered nurses per 100,000 population was 400. Although Oregon as a state is approximately at that level now, studies have shown that the eight county rural area of Eastern Oregon is below this recommendation with a ratio of 326 per 100,000. The educational mix of registered nurses in Eastern Oregon is also below the level recommended in 1975 by the American Nursing Associa tion, with an inadequate per centage of nurses prepared at the baccalaureate and mas ter's levels. In addition to increasing the number of baccalaureate pre pared nurses in Eastern Ore gon, it is hoped the program can develop a small cadre of bilingual and native American nurses to work with " that minority which is most repre sented among the predomin ately white population total ing around 129,000 for the eight-county area. Program administrators point out that the program's impact will not be experi enced until the end of the 1981 academic year, when the first students will graduate. There fore, it will still be necessary to continue to recruit bacca laureate nurses from outside the region. The state's educational ap proving agencies determined that the program should have non-state funding to get start ed. The federal grant, which the School of Nursing applied for and that has just been awarded, provides for addi tional funding of over $400, 000 in the second and third years "if adequate progress is made." rTrTYl n n r 1 i W u 1 f LJ LJULJLiLJLJ U LAJ LTLl U i i - FRESH P0 SPARE Rl MEDIUM SIZE 3-5 LB.
