PASS, FRIEND
The doors of the morning must open.
The keys of the night are not thrown away.
I who have loved morning know its doors.
I who have loved night know its keys.
-Carl Sandburg

S
We March to Different Drum
By DEBORAH
Secreta ry
As the world about us changes the Student
Nurses Association of Chowan College
marches to a different drum. The programs,
projects and stands they take are all part of
their commitment to improve health. In
volvement in the association provides an
opportunity for individual growth and
development and is the opportunity for
students to voice their opinions, share ideas,
and grow in deeper relationship with one
another.
The National Student Nurses’ Association
board of directors firmly believes in the
potential of the association to improve health
care through the impact a national
organization can make on established
nursing and health organizations and
through work with allied health professions
to upgrade the entire health care system.
These, as always, remain our top priority
objectives for this and coming years.
As future health workers, nursing students
recognize their responsibility to the con
sumers of health care. Our motto is that we
are not there for the patient but that the
patient is there for us. Where as all
professionals work together as colleagues to
meet each patient’s need, student nurses are
an important step to collaborate as a team
the approach to health care.
“Give A Damn” was the 1970 convention
theme. Nursing students at the Miami Beach
FAULKNER
of SNA
meeting translated this to mean not only
caring for those in this country who are
abused by society, but doing something
about their problems. High lighting the
convention was Senator George McGovern,
whose keynote speech kicked off “Give A
Damn Day.” Students spent the remainder
of that day taking part in group dynamics
exercises designed to help erase the hangups
people have about “getting involved.”
“If a man does not keep pace with his
companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer. Let him step
to the music he hears, however
measured or far away.”
Henry David Thoreau
In the world of today one often settles to
conformity. This makes a world without love
or concern for others. However in order as a
student nurse to better increase the health
care in the nation or across the seas one
must follow the beat that he hears. This
means becoming involved and active.
Student nurses express their souls by the
ability to reach someone, to feel deeply and
become a part of what the world is all about.
They accept the challenge and the respon
sibility to serve members of society through
years of hard study, experience, and in
terpersonal relationship with those they
come in contact with.
