MaSaJVa HEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JUNE I. 1982 Need for LPNs Evidenced By New Training Schools By FREDERICK H. TREESH United Press International New York IL'PI) A new legion of ladies in white is filling thousands of hospital staff Jobs which have gone begging because of a shortage of registered nurses. Taking up these long -unfilled positions are licensed practical nurses, LPNs. This "new breed" of practical nurse is a well-trained mem ber of a hospital's medical team, and she is fast demol ishing the popular conception of a practical nurse as a kind of unskilled sick room aide and domestic servant. - The need for the LPN in today's hospitals is evidenced by the fact that 512 hospitals in the United States have established training schools for practical nurses. Most of them offer one-year courses which roughly parallel regis tered nurse training Differences lie in the depth In which subjects are explored and the emphasis on science and administrative prepara' tion In the time-honored regis tered nurse course. "Licensed practical nurses are doing much of the bedside nursing originally done by registered nurses," said -Mary Jeanne Clapp, director of nursing at New York's Hos pital of Special Surgery, which operates a school for training LPNs. "We just weren't gradu ating enough registered nurses, and many of those we did graduate went into public health or industrial nursing," Miss Clapp said. Dean Smith, who directs the hospital's School for Practical Nursing, said specific limits for duties of practical nurses vary because of differences in state laws and the policies of each hospital. But she sees an increasingly important role for the LPN as ' greater numbers become li censed after thorough hospital training rather than by waiver based on long on-the-job ex perience.

Although prac tical nursing remains a field open to older women in need of employment, many pros pective LPNs are career-seeking teen-agers or women in their 20s. The hospital's SO - week course begins with a six month "pre - clinical" period during which the student ii trained in such subjects as anatomy and physiology, drugs and solutions, communi cable diseases, growth and development, first aid, history of nursing and ethics. The classroom phase Is fol lowed by on-the-job training which Miss Smith character ized as "supervised practice." The practical nursing students work on staff under close RN supervision during this so called "clinical" training. The hospital, which spec ializes in orthopedic surgery and ( long-term rehabilitation, sends its practical nursing students to two general hos pitals for 15 weeks of affili ation in general medicine and surgery and obstetrics. The balance of their on - the - job training takes place in var ious departments of their own hospital. "We also have a post-graduate course," Miss Clapp said. This is a lS-week course in which the LPN can qualify as a surgical technician. . The practical nurse made a major advance in professional acceptance when the National League for Nursing recently e s t a b lished a division of LYNs, Miss Clapp said. it is true that in some areas where there are enough registered nurses, there is a great resentment of the 11 censed practical nurse," she said. "It is not true in areas where there is a shortage of nurses. "The job security fears of the registered nurse are need less. There always will be more iota than there are nurses."

New York Once upon time, the trademark of the fashion model was the hatbox to hold the accessories of ih Job, Today top models, like Gail MacDermott here, tote a deep carry-all type of satchel with about 20 pounds of every, think from a waist cinclitr to shoes to books to false eye lashes. (UPI) Model's Big Satchel Holds Almost Anything By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (OPD - Once up on a time, the trademark of the fashion model was the hatbox to hold accessories of the job. Today, if a model walks into an agency carrying a hatbox, she's imedlately typed as "Just got off the train from - well, from the Midwest," said William J. Foy, head of one of New York's most elite modeling agencies. The trademark of the pro fessional clothes-horse or pho tographer's model now is the deep, carry-all type of satchel. In winter, it is done usually in black fabric with leather handles. In sumer, It's the pale beige straw carry-all Into which a girl can, and in the case of Gail MacDermott, does, stuff 20 pounds of everything from a waist cincher to false eye lashes. And how does a tall frame of a girl who weighs no more than 110 or 120 pounds cart all this excess without get ting even thinner? Because there is a lot of footwork in volved both in the shows, most of which run at least an hour, and in getting from one assignment to another. "Well," said Miss MacDer mott, "I can eat well - when I get time for lunch. But you still get what I call the mod el's backache. Through the shoulders." Or, if the model swings this miniature trunk across her arm, she gets ridges from the handles. "Had to give up hand modeling," said Miss MacDermott. "Look at those veins.'

Collection Named For First Lady New York -fl!PD- No doubt about It, Mrs. John F. Ken nedy ranks as the No. 1 force in fashion today, says a de signer who does not sell at the White House. Award-winning Luis Este- vez speaking - as he preview ed a fall and winter collection whict candidly took it theme from the First Lady s visit this year to India and Paki stan. "We've named the whole collection for her," said the Cuban-born Estevez. "We be lieve she Is the woman most influential on fashion today." Estevez' "state visit" collec tion included numerous vari ations of the rajah silhouette, rapidly turning into a "ford" in the whole New York gar ment industry. Ford is fash ionese for a style easily copied in all price lines. The rajah is a variation of the long, tunic-like garment Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru wore on his visit to the United States. In turn, when Mrs. Kennedy visited India and Pakistan, variations of this coat's shape showed several times in her wardrobe. Its silhouette: narrow through the shoulders, skim ming over the waistline but curved tn slightly, falling into narrow flare through the skirt. The rajah, as seen in fall and winter apparel for women, comes either single double - breasted, with either flat collar, narrow nnrf of stand-up collar, or without collar As done by Estevez, the rajah usually Is long tunic over slim skirt - wun inree to four inches only of the underskirt showing. He used this spare silhouette for a number of coats, for day dresses In taupe and gray wool combinations, and in brown-black, and ice blue wool silk for Informal late day. Estevez. who holds the American Fashion Critics Award among others, never has sold to Mrs. Kennedy. Credit Official Gives Tips On Financial Emergencies By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York-lUPlu Do you play hide and seek with the man from the collection agency when emergencies make bills pile up? Some people do. They pull down the shades. Answer no phone calls or letters. Refuse to answer the door bell. The strategy: To keep the greatest possible distance be tween debtor and creditor. Never do these things,' cautions William J. Cheyney, executive vice president of the National Foundation for Consumer Credit. "Aren't these foolish ac tions for an intelligent con sumer to take? They fail to protect their own good credit by frankness and leave their creditor no other course than to proceed to protect his own interests. ' In a Foundation booklet- "Using our credit intelligent- ly"-Cheyney suggests that a debtor In a financial crisis make every effort to talk the problem over with the credi tor. "Call on the credit manager, or the merchant or lender, he advises. "Tell him the exact facts-sickness, medical expen ses, loss of work, family emergency-why it is impossible to keep the payments up to aaie SPECIALISTS IN 245 S.

An appli cation of the sophisticated: low-waisted beltless c a p r i dungarees. e e The hatter, John Frederics, has turned his talents to top pings for the beachcomber, The New York designer has created an all terry cloth "aft er dip" hat elasticized like shower cap. The hat complete ly covers damp locks. Called the "fredcro," it resembles what the milliner called "an ice bag." It comes In a variety of colors. For the king of the clan: three - inch high gold foil crown made of sturdy card board. The crowns are being stocked as give-away items by some retailers of Father's Day gifts. Fall coat and suit design ers have heard and an swered the call of the wild. Jungle touches on new suits and coats Include fur collars, cuffs, buttons. Some of the "pelts" are man-made. Today njHttress covers are so elegant that occasionally a top fashion designer draws inspiration from them. And on occasion the reverse Is true. Ceil Chapman, for ex ample, recently designed a so phisticated mattress cover made of a moorish grillwork motif of gold, brown and black. Miss Chapman proved the chie Involved by design, ing a cocktail dress of the same luxurious champagne colored satin. "Discuss future prospects with him so he can figure what can be done to tide the situation over and avoid loss, inconvenience, and undue hardship to both." But suppose after talking it over, repossession seems the only course? You don't like it. You have to give up a tele vision set or an appliance you have partly paid for. Sometimes It is the only way Cjut," Cheyney reported. "The intelligent thing to do in such situations is to arrange for a voluntary return of the goods and not force the credi tor to repossess. This leaves your credit In better condition for the future when your emergency situa tion has passed." What are your rights in the repossession process? "In most states," Cheyney noted, "When the merchant or lender takes back property we are buying, he is obligated to put it up for sale and with due diligence seek a fair price for it. "Everyone knows, however, that secondhand prices can not always be counted on, and nine times out of ten, the forced sale may not bring enough to pay off the balance. "Ordinarily, businessmen and lenders chalk off this dif ference as their own loss, will not press for it. Almost all would rather see their custo mers back on their feet finan cially, able to do business with them again.' The expert suggests that the debtor let the merchant know when he starts to get out of the financial quicksand caused by the crisis, "This is the secret of hand ling the very difficult emer gency," Cheyney explains The merchant, if treated this way, realizes you are substan tial and, under reasonable cir cumstances - entirely credit orthy."
