Moving Up, Thanks To PEP
FULFILLING HER WISHES—(.hie Trollinger, Advanced Licensed Practical Nurse on

and emotional support, going back to school requires a “stick to it attitude," she said.

working a 40-hour week. When I'm
off, I can relax."
When she graduated from Dtirham
Technical Institute in August 1965,
the nurse became one of the first two
LPNs to work in patient care in the
labor and delivery area at Duke. In
1%9 she took additional training
here to become an ALPN. She started
going to NCCU part-time; in 1971.
"Being in school with young
people really keeps you young," said
the 4^-year-old grandmother. "The
reason I'm so late delaying my
education is that I had to raise my
children. Now I'm fulfilling some of
the wishes I had On my own.
Lot of Support
"I had a lot of support from my
children," she said. Her 26-year-old
twins both work in the medical
center. Linda Daniels is an LPN in
the Operating Room, and Lonnie
Trollinger works in the parking lot.
An older daughter works at General
Telephone.
"I've had a lot of help and support
from the RNs on the Floor," she said.
"and my supervisor has been great."
Additional support has come from
the PEP counselors, Sylvia Smith,
who has a master's degree in
guidance and counseling, and Dale
Van Fleet, who has a B.A. degree in
psychology.
Counselor's Role
After discussing an employee's
plans and goals> they provide
information about appropriate
health-related programs at the
medical center or at other hospitals
and schools in the area.
If a person is accepted by PEP, the
counselors help with admissions
procedures and coordination of work
schedules. They keep in close touch
with participants and offer
counseling or referral to those who
have problems.
"Our counselors are the key to the
program's success," said Kenneth P.
Lineberger Jr., PEP director.
Since the program was established
in 1970 to help employees move up
the job ladder through education,
160 PEP participants have graduated
with a degree or certificate, he said.
