Retama Manor Nursing Home observed Texas
Nurses Week October 9-15. Every year the state of
Texas celebrates this week in honor of all nurses,
and Retama Manor was proud to honor their
nurses and all nurses throughout the state of
Texas during this special week.
Pictured are Director of Nurses Dalia Cer-
vantes and L.V.N. Sylvia Barrera as they take the
pulse and blood pressure of resident Jose Zarate.
Mr. Zarate seems contented to receive all this
attention.
Resident Adelaida Clarke enjoys her daily
ambulating with L.V.N. Yvonne Saenz, and
Cipriana Escobar cooperates with Marianela
Ramirez, L.V.N., as she applies her daily eye
drops.
Besides nursing home care, today's nurses
may be found serving in many situations, such as
homes, hospitals, community agencies, clinics,
schools, and industry. They are emerging into new
roles in order to bring the delivery of good health
care closer to the consumer. An example of one of
the new roles in nursing is the nurse practitioner.
A nurse practitioner works closely with patients to
assess their health by physical examination,
patient education, and nursing care.
Currently the nursing profession is encouraging
the return of non-working nurses to practice
through refresher courses and inservice nurse s in
Texas are practicing. The greatest need for nurses
is in rural areas. Fortunately, the number of
applicants and graduates of nursing schools has
risen sharply in the last half decade. The number
of men in nursing has also increased.
By law a professional nurse must be licensed by
the state of Texas to practice nursing and is called
a registered nurse or, R.N. Licensed Vocational
Nurses, L.V.N.'s, are also important providers of
nursing services.
Nurses are acutely aware of their need for in-
formal continued education beyond graduation in
order to keep up with the modern changes in
nursing. Schools of nursing, hospitals, and health
agencies across Texas are striving to offer con-
tinued education opportunities.
Texas Nurse Week should give us all an op-
portunity to consider what nurses mean to us and
to recognize the valuable contribution these
professionals give the community. Let all the
community salute the men and women who are
dedicated to professional nursing.

guide for celebrating the
gospel together during the
year.
