WSSU Nurses Gain Experience In Search of a Dream Every man whether young or old, rich or poor, black or white dreams. To define a dream would be like defining one’s name. What does a dream stand for? What does it mean? A dream is a thought. In this thought many visions appear. These visions penetrate the mind and dreams become a kind of fantasy. Dreams are glimpses of things that people wish to happen or remembrances of things that have already occurred. As strange as it may seem, every man has a dream. Some men want to prosper in the field of economics while others seek a higher status. Some men dream that they will one day find the the perfect mate and escape from the trying problems of society. Some men want material things in life. They dream of riches, happiness, and sheer contentment. Some men dream of their wedding day. In many cases this dream turns into a nightmare. However; a man who dreams is a man who wants something out of life. A man who dreams is a man who strives to make that dream come true. I am in search of a golden dream. A golden dream is a dream in which precious thoughts are embodied within the mind. A golden dream is a dream in which every second of happiness is smiled upon with tears of joy. A golden dream is a dream in which time stands still and chilly wintry evenings are heighten^ by the warm fire flowing from a fireplace. A golden dream is a dream in which snow filters the pathway of time. I am in search of a golden dream. I imagine though vividly, the child who has no home. He stands still and murmurs slowly three words to a mother he has never known, “I Love You.” He grasps for breath in a deluted environment not knowing where his next meal is to come from. He hopes, prays, and finds contentment only through descreet talks with God. He leans upon his brother’s shoulder for comfort and gives his last penny to his smaller sister. He lives each day without envy or strife, boastfulness or pride, arrogance or rudeness. You see, his sufferings have made him humble, for without experiencing much sorrow in his life, he can never learn to appreciate happiness. I’d like to take this golden dream wherever it may be and give it to him. This golden dream represents my hope and my desires, but with this dream it is virtually impossible to find happiness U someone is standing on the outside looking in. I am in search of a golden dream to share with all mankind, for I know and believe with all my heart that dreams only come true to those who wait, hope, and believe. My golden dream is out there somewhere and in years to come, this dream will become a reality. Every tear will be a tear of joy, every smile a smile of hope, every man a man of God. With this dream I find contentment. The search can only end in complete success because I believe that dreams do come true. With this thought I would like to conclude by saying, “Dream while you’re young, but never dream your life away. Dream while you live but never dream for yesterday.” Beverly Blackwell Winston-Salem State University senior nursing students are not acquiescent about the public image of their institution, neither are they humiliated by the accusations of being only “pill pushers, body washers and bedpan shufflers”. They are more concerned with health maintenance, disease prevention and the organismic theory of man, i.e., man’s functioning as a unified whole within the environment in which he exists. Having adopted this frame of reference, the students are very much aware that perceptions and images are rooted in one’s attempt to reconcile some aspect of his external environment with some internal need or demand. The same applies to people’s responses to health interruptions; these responses are engendered from a variety of factors ranging from lack of knowledge of the facts and fear of the unknown, to peer group, family and other environmental pressures. Quite often these factors and issues make the difference in early diagnosis and successful treatment and irreversible conditions. During February and March, the students conducted Teaching- Learning Projects in the community. These projects covere the following topics: VD, Drug Abuse, Diabetes, Hypertension, Breast and Uterine Cancer, Abortion, First- Aid, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation, Prenatal Care, Personal Hygiene and Child Abuse. In group combinations of two, students selected a topic of interest or concern, planned and presented it to a select group, that is, a group in which the incidence of the particular problem is greatest or is more likely to occur. Other topics were chosen and presented because of the need for prevention or ana education about the nation's major health problems. These projects were held at recreation centers. Homes for the elderly, schools, health departments, college campuses and to Girl Scout troops. Mrs. Mary Isom, Dean of the School of Nursing, commented that today’s nurse is expected to assume an extended role and in order to prepare our students to do so, we must provide experiences that foster development of role-taking behaviours and accountability in diverse situations. Ms. Adeline Gracey, Assistant Professor of Community Health Nursing, and Senior Coordinator, states that the responses of gratitude from the community have been tremendous. She feels that the program is an excellent means for students to become continued on page 7
