Nursing has come a long way since the days of
Florence Nightingale, and so have the nurses who
have followed in her footsteps.
Approximately 400 nursing professionals who are
living testaments to these changes will be in
Winston-Salem from Oct. 23 to 26 to attend the
North Carolina Nurses Association convention.
Among these nursing professionals will be Sandra
Randleman, president-elect of District 3, which
"The image of nursing is something that
we're still struggling with. I can talk about
the image from way back since Florence
Nightingale. She probably has the most
commonly known name in the community
and within society in terms of nursing. "

includes Forsyth and Stokes counties. Mrs.
Randleman says the NCNA will explore several
aspects of the nursing profession on the state level
as well as at the national level.
"We hope to discuss the nursing profession from
the standpoint of 'Professional Power: Pathway to
Progress,' " says Mrs. Randleman, who is director
of nursing at Forsyth Hospital. "When we say

une area of nursing that has not changed
significantly over the years is the small number of
male nurses. Mrs. Randleman estimates that as few
as 2 or 3 percent of all nurses are men.
While the number of black nurses has increased
over the years, Mrs. Randleman says that there is
not a representative number of black nurses in the
nursing association.
"There are few blacks represented in the nursing
association, and I'm not so sure why that is true,"
she says. "I know that many times blacks have not
had the contacts or the networking that they need to
have in order to get into the forefront, especially in
terms of being visible.
"1 think that while there is a sufficient number of
blacks available," Mrs. Randleman says, "compared
to other members of the organization, there is
very little representation."
While large numbers of black nurses have not
previously pursued membership in the nursing
association, Mrs. Randleman feels that there is a
need for them to do so and an effective means of
working into the association structure.
"I think the way to become involved is to
demonstrate an interest by contacting someone that
you may know," she says. "Many times, though, in
this particular area, I'm not sure we have a large
