USC's bid for federal funds to
assists in building the $2 million
Williams-Brice Nursing Facility
has been approved, but ground
breaking ceremonies will not begin
until the amount of funding is
known, according to M2jorie E.
Sanderson, dean of the College of
Nursing.
Legislation for federal funding
was provided by the Nurse
Training Act of 1971 which awards
funds competitively on the basis of
need, program offerings and
projected trends for the future of
the school. The key issue, Dean
Sanderson said, "is how up-to-date

is the program in preparing people
to meet with the health problems of
today?"
Planning for the five-story
structure began in January 1971,
when USC received a gift of
$500,000 from the estate of the late
Mrs. Martha Williams Brice
designated for the construction of a
new College of Nursing farility.
The complex which will displace
the Presbyterian Student Center
on the corner of Green and Pickens
streets, will house the associate,
baccalaureate and master's
degree nursing programs.

and adds audio-tutorial labs,
behavioral labs, expanded office
and classroom space and an
auditorium. The new facility will
operate on the philosophy of being
"where the ideal of commitment to
service is strengthened," Dean
Sanderson said.
In keeping with the spirit of
renovation and expansion, the
College is also revamping its
curriculum which according to
l)ean Sanderson, "is now directed
toward the involvement of patient
and family in health care
problems" in contrast to the
traditional view of taking care of a
sick patient.

"We're encouraging all our girls to
set their sights on graduate study.
Only 25 per cent of Registered
Nurses hold baccalaureate
degrees and it is from that group
that you have to get nurses and
with master's and doctoral
degrees to provide the leadership
core for nursing care in society."
"Studies have shown," she said,
"that nurses with the , bac
calaureate degree who don't
continue graduate study tend to
tered Nurses hold bac
carry out the same functions as the
non-degree registered nurses."
Non-degree RN's "are prepared
to work primarily in restrictive
situations such as hospitals and
only 12 per cent of health care
needs are met in hospitals." Dean
Sanderson said. Degree RN's on
the other hand, "begin to work
with families groups and agencies
related to health care." In ad
dition, leadership in the nursing
profession comes from the ranks of
th: degree RNs, she said. Nurses
working in health care agencies
are expected to obtain a Master's
degree to qualify for leadership
positions.
Getting a degree and moving
immediately into an ad
ministrative. teaching or super
visory position is not the main
goal, [)ean Sanderson said. "We
encourage our graduates to have a
period of time when they actually
practice. Degree nurses have been
taught things in terms of psycho
social patient needs that two-year
program students don't get.
Manipulative skills can be taught
in 10 per cent of the time of
cognitive skills and to have a
nursing course with depth, a
person must have the academic
credentials."
