34 Student Nurses Participating
In Duke Summer Work Program
Thirty-four student nurses are
participating in a special work program at
the Medical Center this summer. Initiated
last year, the two-month program
provides a summer income as well as
practical experience and educational
opportunities.
The students are all rising seniors in
bachelor degree programs. For the first
time this year the participants include
girls from schools other than Duke.
Assigned to patient care areas
throughout the Hospital, the students are
working as professional nurse assistants.
Supervisors are planning various types of
learning opportunities to meet the
students' interests. Educational programs
and special classes are also available for
them.
The Duke students participating in the
program are Carolyn Ames, Nancy
Beetham, Barbara Borshay, Patricia
Briggs, Dorothy Brower, Betts Carpenter,
Erica Caruso, Brenda Corley, Janet
Finklea, Jean Francis, Marsha Hallman,
Gayle Harris, Barbara Harrod, Cathy
Harton, Elizabeth Hensleigh, Sue Iddings,
Ruthanne Lamb, Martha Reese, Jane
Rippe, Ellen Smith, Kathi Stertzbach,
Lou Summers, Carol Taaffe, Margaret
Thompson, Gale Touger, Elaine Truitt,
Caroline Varner, Ellen Wenzel, and
Elizabeth Willis.
The five student nurses from other
schools are Carol Bradford from
Winston-Salem State University, Rhonda
Engle from Florida State University, Billi
Phillips from Indiana State University,
and Wanda Hall and Martha Reeves from
the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro.
Newly Built
Parking Lot
For Employes
Employes who work in one of the
Research Park buildings or at the
Vivarium now have the option of parking
in a newly constructed lot between those
buildings and Erwin Road.
The lot is actually an access road
which has been paved and striped to
provide nearly 100 parking places along
one side. In addition, a large area between
the Vivarium-Research Park complex and
the Biological Sciences Building has been
cleared and graveled to provide parking
fcfr more cars.
A sidewalk and steps connecting the
lot with the buildings should be
completed in the next week or two.
When all parts of the new lot are
finished, parking will be prohibited along
the roads fronting the Research Park
buildings. At present, parking on both
sides of those streets presents a hazard to
fire trucks and garbage disposal units.
The total cost of the new lot was
$42,000.
Using Your New ZIP?
Last week the Medical Center changed
to a new ZIP code—27710.
The new number should be used by
anyone who receives his mail through the
Medical Center mail room.
The rest of the University West
Campus, including Hanes House and the
Graduate Center, will continue to use
27706, and the East Campus ZIP will
continue to be 27708.
The separate ZIP Code for the Medical
Center is expected to facilitate the
handling of mail and eliminate
slow-downs in delivery.
