Mrs. Lee Speaks About Nursing Monday, October 13,1975 What makes Gardner- Webb’s nursing program so attractive? Mrs. Grace Lee, director of nursing feels that Gardner-Webb’s program is one of the best. Early in 1964, a group of people from Cleveland Me morial Hospital, Rutherford Hospital, and Gardner- Webb, assembled to discuss the possibility of beginning a nursing program here. Cleveland had lost its school of nursing and Rutherford had only a small struggling school. At the time, the trend in nursing education was toward moving into col leges because hospitals simply couldn’t afford it monetarily. Dr. Poston was com pletely in favor of the nurs ing program. With his sup port, each hospital pledged with the academic dean. $20,000 to subsidize the The first nursing class did nursing program. August of 1964 saw the advent of a pilot nursing program. Rutherford School of Nursing admitted 12 girls to Gardner-Webb to acquire their behaviorial, social and physical sciences. Each day, they arrived by bus and re turned to Rutherford to re ceive their nurses training. Forty freshmen girls were admitted to Gardner-Webb’s nursing program in 1965. Accommodations for the first year were very lacking. Says Mrs; Lee, “Since there was no space available, a closet had to be cleaned out for offices.” Mrs. Lee and the professors didn’t even have one typewriter between them and had to share one NSF Grants Fellowships well, and before the year finished, the new program was given a “reasonable as surance accreditation,” by the National League of Nursing, in 1966. This type of accreditation is the high est possible before the first class is graduated. How is Gardner-Webb’s nursing program different from others? First, states Mrs. Lee, Gardner-Webb has the only two-year pro gram in a four-year college. Secondly, the students have the advantage of living on campus in a dorm atmos phere. Thirdly, the many students from different countries, add an interna- tionfd flavor to the campus. A fourth added feature is, of the 20 nursing programs id 'vWi' ig Lilia Garcia of Panama Introducing.,.
