Director of Nursing Outlines Achievements Miss Mary Bourne, Reg. N., di- rector of nursing, last night pre- sented her report at the annual meeting of the Oshawa General Hospital, which employes 89 grad- uate nurses, 83 student nurses and 245 other employees. GREATER ACTIVITY "The year 1952 ended a year of greater activity in the affairs of nursing," sald Miss Bourne, "of greater advancement of profession- al development in some countries but difficulties and frustration in rs, but with a determination on all sides and in all countries to play our part in helping to meet 'the essential health needs of peo- , Since it is generally believed the quality of the nursing care in hospitals sets the standard of the hospital, the nurses of Oshawa General Hospital have done their to give efficient round the -- round the calender serv- for the sick and injured. There no relaxation in their efforts to restore health and save life. "We are grateful to our Board of Directors for their wisdom and dance in our complex problems. eir realization that only good el policies improved work- fog facilities and able leadership provide an atmosphere in which good nursing care will be effected, has resulted in the satis- faction so often expressed by our patients. "The board of directors have acknowledged the need for advanc- ed study and preparation by mem- bers of our nursing staff and have willingly granted leave of absence for members of our staff to at- tend university and short refresher courses. "From our scholarship fund made possible through generous donations from interested public spirited citizens a bursary of $400 was awarded to a graduate of Osh- awa General Hospital School of Nursing for one year of study at the University of Toronto. It is tifying that this nurse will re- to the Oshawa General Hos- pital to resume her position as Jiasistant Director of Nursing Ser- e ce. . "Leave of absence has also been ted to two other members of nursing staff to attend courses in the University of Toronto and who be returning to fill im- rtant positions on our school of ing teaching staff. "Financial assistance was grant- od to two nurses from the staff of the Paediatrics Department to at- tend a four-day refresher course at the University of Toronto on "New- er Concepts in Child Health". NURSES WORK SHOP "Fourteen nurses (Instructors and Head Nurses), were relieved for one week to attend a work shop at McMaster University, Hamilton, to discuss problems rele- vant to Ward Administrators. The benefit derived from this Institute has been evident by the improve- ment in methods adopted and the organization of ward assignments. The institute seemed to be a for- tunate and happy climax to the series of presentations and discus- sions which had been conducted during the year amongst our Sup- ervisors and Head Nurses with an effort toward enlightening all mem- egarding the aims and the 3 ce of the Head Nurse in organization. In this, we were assisted by the directors from other hospital departments and by leaders in PubMc Health - nursing, VON, Red Cross Home- maker Service and other com- munity agencies. "Six graduate nurses attended the annual convention of the Reg- istered Nurses "- our professional organization--in Toronto in April, 1952, and two gra- duates nurses attend the biennial convention of the Canadian Nurses' ation at Quebec City in June, 1952. Very interesting and helpful reports were presented at one of our combined nursing meetings. "One member of the teaching staff attending a second intensive course for nurse instructors on "Nursing in Atomic, Biological and Chemical Warfare", in November. Other one-day conferences were at- tended by various members of the "Through our educational pro- fram for graduate nurses, our aim to help all members of our nursing staff to become aware of the full scope of the and isSues involved, to help main- in unity of purpose within the nursing group and to guide the nurses toward the most effective achievement, NING MEETINGS "During the year a program for evening meetings was planned to include four community nursing organizations -- the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital Alumnae Association, the Oshawa General Hospital Nursing Staff, the Community »- Registry and Chapter 1 -- : Registered Nurses' Assoc., ~~ COMING EVENTS RUMMAGE SALE, THURSDAY, 1:30, Group Three, Simcoe St. United Church. 3 (100a) SPRING TEA-SPONSORED BY THE 10th Group Committee, at Guide House, Thursday, April 30th, 2:30 o'clock. Admis- sion 35c¢. (100a Ontario. Each organization was in charge of the meeting in rotation but each group was given the opportunity to announce and dis- cuss important business which had previously been discussed by the executive committee of that parti- cular group. The plan has worked well, the attendance at the com- bined 'meetings has improved and membership in each organization has increased. "The Alumnae Association of Oshawa General Hospital School of Nursing has progressed and has been of inestimable strength to the hospital not only by its financial assistance but through its loyalty and assistance in establishing fav- orable public relations, The signi- ficant fact cannot be overlooked that every member of this organ- ization acts as an exemplary rep- resentative in formal and informal social contacts in the community. Several classes in prenatal care have been organized and present- ed by the Public Health nurses in McLaughlin Hall. We are proud of this achievement and are grateful that the privilege of attending these classes has been made pos- sible to our patients and we can- not emphasize too much the im- portance of the knowledge gained through instruction to the expec- tant mothers. They come to the hospital informed and in a frame of mind without fear. This preparation is of great assistance to the busy nurses in our over- crowded obstetrical department where nearly 2,000 babies were born in 1952. PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY "The nursing profession has been diligent in their efforts to prepare their members in peace time to care for the overwhelming num- ber of casualties which would re- sult from a major disaster. "In' November 1951, two mem- bers of our School of Nursing teaching staff received preparation for instruction by attending an in- tensive course in 'Nursing Atom- ic Biological and Chemical War- fare' for one week in Toronto. In conjunction with the Committee on Civil Defence in Oshawa, a course of twelve hours was offered dur- ing the spring of 1952 to all grad- uate nurses in the city and com- munity, Nurses who availed them- selves of the opportunity to receive this instruction given in McLaugh lin Hall numbered 130. "In September, 1952, three nurses, one member from the group of industrial nurses, one member from the Public Health nursing staff and one member from our School of Nursing teaching staff, received preparation for instruc- tion by attending a second inten- sive course in Toronto. Another course in 'Nursing in Atomic Bio- logical, Chemical Warfare' for registered nurse in the city and semor students of our School of Nursing is now being presented. Any registered nurses who have overlooked the announcement re- garding these classes are invited to attend. "For many nurses the twelve hour course is just a beginning and a need for further study is felt in order to function adequately in time of disaster. It is our hope that auxiliary classes and refresh- er courses will soon be organized in this community for nurses who have not been recently engaged in nursing in order to acquaint them with modern methods, procedures and medicines now in use. Thous- ands of nurses will be required 'in time of disaster. EMPLOY WARD SECRETARIES "The employment of Ward Sec- retaries in September, 1952, has been an innovation in this hospital and revolves around the need to relieve nurses, both graduates and students, of non-sursing functions in order that they may fulfill their true purpose -- the professional nursing care of patients. Unfortun- ately the nurse of today is respon- sible for much clerical work. She spends hours recording doctors' orders, transferring them from the order book to patients' charts and requisitions from patients' charts to card index, etc. The time she can devote to nursing care is of necessity limited because she is confined to the details of desk work. The use of ward secretaries is a time-saver in the discharge of non-nursing duties. An intelligent ward secretary can perform a mul- titude of minor administrative tasks and she may even accomp- lish these tasks in a more concise, accurate and complete manner since clerical duties are her main responsibility. "It is commonplace today today to: say that we live in a period of rapid transition, and the nurs- ing sphere is no exception. We hear on every hand of the short- age of nursing, of health plas which will demand much more nursing and some le even talk of the decline in the spirit of nursing. Our problems in 1952 were complex and one of the major difficulties was the constant changing of nursing staff which seems to be prevalent in every hospital, During 1952 -- there were fifty-five appointments to the nursing staff and there were forty-five resignations. The intro- duction and orientation of all new members required valuable time and the resulting changes in per- ) | sonnel are disconcerting to the pa- Report Hospital Finances Strong At the annual meeting of the Oshawa General Hospital held in McLaughlin Hall last night, D, D. Storie, hospital treasurer, gave the financial Bistement for the r 1952. He declared ®hat the hospital was in a strong position financially. The working capital of the hos- pital now stood at $196,971", said Mr. Storie, an increase over 1951 of $29,937. Equipment been increased by $12,549 during the year. Depreciation during the year amounted to only $31,506, about evenly divided between buildings: and equipment. GOVER AID BOOSTED The hospital showe a net loss for the year of $12,091 as compared with $5,805 during 1951, reported the treasurer. The provincial gov- ernment, he said, was becoming more aware each year of the fin- ancial problems of operating a hos- pital, and was giving increased aid in government grants. This year the amount received from the prov- ince was $64,049, in addition to cap- ital grants. If this aid had not been received, declared Mr. Storie, the hospital rates would have been much higher. Donations during 1952 had totall- ed more than $19,500 (double the amount received in 1851), invest- ment income was $2,580, payments received on behalf of 1951 and 1950 indigents came to $1,182, additional government grants for the same years added up to $3,014, which totalled roughly $26,300, which, less an operating loss of some $12,000 left a surplus appro: ly $14,000. SUBSTANTIAL ENDOWMENTS Mr, Storie reported substantial endowments and 'special funds made available by generous citi- zens, such as: the E. A. Lovell Scholarship Fund, $7,200, general endowments and bequests, $52,456, and General Scholarship Fund, $1, making a total of $59,657. Remark- ing that the general scholarship fund was badly in need of financial aid, the treasurer expressed the hope that some generous person would soon come to its aid. He paid tribute to the work of the auditors, R. R. Grant and Company for the "exceptionally fine work" they had done and were doing. On motion from the floor the same auditors were re-appointed for the current year. Sets and other members of the staff. "The nurses of the Community Nursing Registry rallied to our plight and approximately 1000 days of nursing care were given by members of the registry to the hospital for general duty. Without their co-operation and assistance our staff would have been serious- ly depleted on many occasions. "The School of Nursing is not the least interesting feature of our hospital. The teaching and super- visory staff is where our standard of nursing care is established and we feel that a decided effort has been made and much has been accomplished to improve our gen- eral nursing care. "Four members of our faculty under the direction and guidance of Miss Jean Hodsdon have been concerned with the perennial prob- | lems and the enormous Jerpiex ities in our plan for ucating nurses. We are bewildered by the rapid development of new ideas resulting from industrial and com- mercial expansion -- in the altera- tion of the social, economic and political structure and in the speed of communication. We appreciate that all manner of new occupa- tions and techniques have arisen and there is considerable concern with their implication for educa- tion. In the state of the world one of the essentials is that health is not the prerogative of a few but the crown right of everyone. "The manifestations of the ne- cessity for change in the prepara- tion of nurses are clear. A multi- tude of surveys, experiments and analyses of our responsibility and healh ar akig plac. Thsishrdl relationship. in the promotion of health are taking place, Those charged with the responsibility of educating nurses realize that there are great difficulties in preparing the program and in its application. The need for service by the stu- dents results in a lack of control of students' time, and a, lack of integrated instruction as well as poor correlation of theory and practice. "An experiment for a two-year course has been made possible and nurse educators have proved that nurses could be educated more ef- ficlently in a shorter period of time if they were required in hos- pitals only for necessary exper- ience. We hope that governments will soon agree to substantially sub- sidize schools of nursing in the manner that all schools and uni- versities are subsidized. It is grati- fying to note that generous bursar- ies for graduate nurses for advanc- ed preparation in universities have been made possible by the provin- cial government and this has re- sulted in larger attendance in the university schools of nursing. To operate a school of nursing in any hospital proves to be an expense --not easily determined -- because it is difficult to evaluate the serv- ice of a student nurse. With more financial assistance, the program could be improved and nurses more efficiently prepared. 21 GRADUATIONS "During 1952 twenty-one nurses graduated from the school and forty were received in the Sep- tember class. The present enrol- ment of student nurses is 26 sen- ior students -- 29 intermediate stu- dents and 32 junior students -- a total enrolment of 87. Residence accommodation is limited and it is necessary to provide residence for senior nurses in the commun- ity during their final month in or- der to receive a new class each September. 'All xtudents receive twelve weeks' of experience in '"'nursing for children" at the Hospital for Sick Children and twelve weeks' experience in *'psychiatric nurs- ing' at the Ontario Hospital, Whit- by. Each student receives four days experience with the Oshawa Public Health nurses and two days with Oshawa Victorian Order of Nurses. With this arrangem®nt the students gain a knowledge of the commun- ity agencies and have a better un- derstanding of the social problems of patients whom they nurse, They are more confident in advising their patients regarding the main- tenance of health and prevention of future illness with its complica- tions. Two students attended the Registered Nurses' Association On- tario Convention in Toronto in April 1952, where a special pro- gram for students with students articipating had been prepared. ree student nurses attended the Canadian Nurses' Association Con- vention at Quebec City in June. Attendance at these coventions helps to stimulate and develop the, students' interest and their knowl- edge of the affairs of nursing.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gesette and Chronicle OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 100 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WED NESDAY, APRIL 29, 1953 PAGE THREE Oshawa Hospital Sets Many Records 8722 Patients Given Treatment At the well-attended annual meeting of the Oshawa General Hospital held in McLaughlin Hall last night, Ernest Marks, hospital president, who acted as chairman of the meeting, introduced William O. Holland, superintendent of the institution, who reviewed some of the achievements of the past year, and predicted would arise before staff and new 100 bed wing that is planned to be built within the, coming year. some of the problems which patients could move into the NEW RECORDS SET "New records have been made | tablished records in volume handl- in every department," said Mr. |ed Holland, "as the number of patients treated continued to increase. De- partments which have been operat- ing at capacity have had to turn out still more work, a factor which is undesirable, and hard on. the personnel due to the cramped quarters. "During the year 8,722 adults and children were admitted and treated for a total of 73,076 days. This is an increase of 10 per cent over the previous year. There were also 1,- 922 babies bom, anincrease of more than 10 per cent over the pre- vious year. The average day's stay for all patients was 7.9 days. This short stay indicates a high turn- over of patients and is caused main- ly by the shortage of beds and the high percentage of hospitalization coverage in this district. Last year 82 per cent of our admissions were covered by some form of insurance which paid 60 per cent of their accounts. Of those covered by in- surance, 67 per cent had Blue Cross. The co-operation of the Medi- cal Staff has made it possible to utilize the available beds to the utmost advantage. "Our annual figure further indi- cate that each day, we had on the average: 70 medical patients, 70 surgical patients, 33 obstetrical pa- tients, 23 children and 36 babies, a daily average of 232 patients. This represents a daily average occupancy of 86 per cent of the beds set up for use, or 100 per cent occupancy of the rated capacity of the Hospital. When one consid- ers that these averages apply to every day of the year it can readily visualized the crowding that exist- ed during our peak Deriods, EXPENSES CLIMBING Expenses are still continuing to climb and the daily average cost per day during 1952, was $14.48, an increase of $1.38 per day over 1951. This compares very favour- ably with other hospitals of our size, and when one considers the service given to patients, including operating room, x-rays, labora- tory, drugs, meals delivered to their beds, mid-meal nourishments, bedside nursing care and almost every request complied with, for only 60c per hour, we feel that there is no other place a person can spend their money to more advantage than in the hospital. The other non-operating income amount other non - operating income amounting to 30c per day, more than offset the small operating loss. We do mot operate, nor set our rates, to make money, but we do attempt to come as close as possible to breaking even on the year's operation, "To care for the increased num- ber of patients, our staff was in- creased during the year and we now have 89 graduate nurses, 43 nurses' assistants and orderlies, 83 student nurses, 18 doctors, interns and technical staff, 184 other per- sonnel, a grand total of some 335 full time and 83 student nurses, to ¢are for an average of 232 pa- tients, about 1.8 employees for every patient, to maintain the Hos- pital 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, every day of the year. WAGES UP 60 PER CENT "Salaries and wages represent over 60 per cent of our total ex- penses and last year, more than $648,000 was paid out to employees. This is an increase of $110,000 over the year 1951. Food and provisions comes next at $127,335, a 12 per cent increase over the previous year. Supplies for all other de- partments including x-ray, labora- tory, pharmacy, maintenance, sur- gical supplies, and administratioh, accounted for the balance of the funds expended which amounted to more than $300,000. "We attempt to maintain the hos- pital property in good condition at all times and. during 1952, the out- side of the hospital was painted. In addition more than $12,000 was spent in necessary repairs to the buildings and stationary equipment. "Our laundry which has been op- erating at capacity for a number of years is very congested. We now find it necessary to send work out because we do not have the equip- ment to handle the volume, nor the space to instal badly needed ad- ditional equipment.

There were more 'than 5,000 procedures done in the emergency operating room, including over 900 fractures treated. This is an increase of 25 per cent over 1951. There were 6,142 anaesthetics given during 1952. "The diet kitchen and cafeteria which is always a busy spot, serv- ed more than 350,000 meals -- al- most a 1,000 per day. Of these, some 40,000 were special diets, which are time consuming and sometimes unpleasant for the hun- gry patient, who has always been used to everything he wants in the way of food. 'Staff education, an important adjunct to good hospital service has been fully appreciated by the board of directors and attendance of hospital personnel was authoriz- ed at several conventions and. in- stitutes including, the Ontario Hos- pital Association 'convention, the American Hospital Association con- vention, several nursing conferen- ces and conventions, and the Ac- counting Institute. "The staff appreciates the oppor- tunity of attending these sessions and bringing back and implement- ing new and up-to-date methods. '""New equipment costing more than $10,000 was purchased for the various departments, including X-ray, case room, nursing school, patient's wards, laboratory and diet kitchen, to maintain a high stand- ard of service. Each year it is necessary to buy more equipment, and we now find space to locate the equipment is becoming a ser- ious problem. 'We are all grateful to the Wom- en's Auxiliary for their many gen- erous donations and ce dur- ing the year. We sincerely trust their interest will continue. CARE OF CHRONICALLY ILL "The care of the chronically ill and long term convalsscents is one which will have to be given careful study as it is becoming more evid- ent that due to the size of living accommodation people can afford to build or rent, there is no place to care for sick people at home for extended periods. In addition a prolonged stay in a general hos- | pital is a costly expense either for | the patient or the municipality | | concerned. "I would like to join the Board | of Directors in expressing the | thanks and gratitude of the staff to all those individuals and Cor- porations who, by their donations and assistance, have helped to carry on the activities of the Osh- awa General Hospital. "My own appreciation is extend- ed, to the Board of Directors for their kindly comments and advice on all matters, to the members of the Medical Staff for their sympath- etic co-operatiom™and to all mem- bers of the Hospital Staff for their faithful efforts in making 1952 a successful year, At the conclusion of the meeting refreshments were served hy the attractive young student nurses, who 'were on duty as ushers last night, and copies of the handsome hospital booklet, 'Report to the People, 1952", were distributed to OSHAWA DAIRY HALF PINTS Operating Rooms Waiting List Long What he called '"'elective surgical cases" could not be booked into an operating room until mid-July, so heavy was the operation waiting list, Dr. C. E. Mcllveen, chief of the medical staff, told the annual meeting of the Oshawa General Hospital held in McLaughlin Hall last night. There was booking space daily for 16 in the regular operating rooms and for five in the emer- gency operating rooms, he said, and emergency admissions in April already totalled 287. There was an urgent waiting list of 84, and very urgent cases numbered 15. MEMBERSHIP INCREASED Dr, Mcllveen announced that the membership of the medical staff had increased from 66 at the end of 1952 to 69 at present. They were divided in the ratio of 34 active, 14 associate, 15 courtesy, six consult- ing physicians and one honorary practitioner. The staff physicans handled such departments as Anaesthesia, Ear, Nose and Throat, Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pathol- ogy, Radiology, Surgery, Junior Surgery and General Practice, and divided themselves into Commit- tees, on Credential, Interne, Pro- gram, Medical Record and Li- brary, Admitting and Discharge, Building, Civil Defence and Pharm- acy. Dr. A. J. R. Loos of the Radio- logy Department reported that his | technicians had given some 10,000 |treatments during the last year, in addition to 8,700 chest x-rays. He declared that local industry was welcome to make use of & miniature chest x-ray machine wherever it was feasible. He rue- fully described the crowded condi- tions that forced the chest unit to operate in the admitting office, and {hoped his department would have | more room to function when the new wing was built.

APPRECIATION VOICED Vote of thanks to the board of directors and hospital staff was proffered by the Rev. J. K. Moffat, representing the Oshawa Minister- ial Association, who said that he had never seen a hospital where there were fewer complaints and less disaffection than this one. He had heard loud praise for the nurs- ing care, the meals and the thous- and one services that were pro- vided to patients here, and he ex- pressed the appreciation of the ministerial group for the cour- tesy and co-operation they had re- ceived from the hospital staff. Mr. Moffat asked the good will of the people of the community for the continued success and growth of the hospital.
