Local Hospital Added
To Nurse Training
Program At W.C.J.C.
WHARTON—Two more hospit-
als will join the Wharton County
Junior College Vocational Nursing
program next fall, to make a total
of six that are cooperating with the
practical training of student nurses.
The Wagner General Hospital at
Palacios and the Matagorda Gen-
eral Hospital at Bay City have
asked to be included in the clinical
phase of the program. In this phase
the students learn hospital pro-
cedures while continuing their
classroom work.
Caney Valley Hospital in Whar-
ton, Nightingale in El Campo, and
the Columbus Hospital have long
been associated with the College in
this training program. The Gulf
Coast Medical Center of Wharton
is also a new participant.
The 12-month Vocational Nurs-
ing program includes four months
of classroom studies at the Col-
lege and eight months of hospital
duties combined with classroom
work.
When the students begin their
hospital training they “earn while
they learn.” Cooperating hospitals
pay the students a salary of $30
per month while they are on modi-
fied service, increase this to $65
per month as the young women
assume more responsibilites and
complete more studies, and finally,
toward the end of their training,
the hospitals pay $90 per month.
Applicants for the program must
have a high school education, must
pass a personal interview, fulfill
college requirements, and meet re-
quirements of cooperating hospit-
als. Mrs. Floris Hastings is direc-
tor of the Vocational Nursing de-
partment.

proposed for the portion of the bay

tirety located downstream from

water stages on the streams or in
the bay.

the limiting line above which in-
dividual applications will no longpr
