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

us to proceed with planning.
"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."
