Jones Fond Memories for Former Employee Richard Elston, Executive Director of Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, is pictured receiving a painting from Judith D. Ross, Director of Nursing at Moose Factory Hospital, Moose Factory. Senior nursing staff from two northern hopsitals were in Bowmanville from Oct 27-29 to take part in an educational educational seminar. The painting was done by Dorothy Morrison-Rickard and is entitled "The Shy One." Memorial Hospital's art collection received a further boost last week, with this presentation of a painting done by Goyce Kakegamic, a Cree Indian. The painting was brought as a gift to Memorial Hospital Hospital from Zone Hospital Sioux Lookout. Agnes Jen- kinson, Director of Nursing for the Zone Hospital Sioux Lookout presented the picture to Richard Elston, Executive Director of Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, on the first day of the three day seminar seminar that staff from two northern hospitals were attending. attending. by Carolyn Hepburn A novel idea that first came to Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville in 1982, made another stop at that same facility last week. A federally sponsored "educational exchange" between between senior nursing staffs of two northern hospitals and their southern counterparts counterparts took place in the form of a three day seminar from October 27-29. Since its first arrival at Memorial Hospital several years ago, the exchange has also travelled to Tillson- burg and North Bay, before returning to Bowmanville. "It is a great opportunity to see how people (in differ- ent hospitals) deal with day to day situations," said Richard Elston, Executive Director of Memorial Hospital. Hospital. The two northern hospital hospital staffs, from Zone Hospital Hospital Sioux Lookout and Moose Factory Hospital, also benefit from the large social changes that a trip to the southern climates can offer. Marjorie Lovell, Regional Nursing Officer, Medical, Services Branch, National Health and Welfare, claims that there is a great deal of "professional isolation" for the employees of the northern northern medical facilities. "There are no stores, no cinemas, no one owns a car," said Mrs. Lovell of the two northern exchange areas. "Relationships have to be established. The seminar is a network for working and setting up relationships," added Mrs. Lovell. It certainly appeared to work, as groups from all three hospitals discussed Something To Think About PaulMorris SHOCK AND DENIAL not unusual and it may even be beneficial because it gives us some time to absorb absorb the emotional injury and begin to adjust to its impact. impact. Denial, when it occurs, may last for a few moments, a few days or months, or it may never go away. One day we may be strong enough to handle it, and the next day we can't. Denial is a way of protecting ourselves ourselves but it should be temporary temporary and not permanent. MORRIS FUNERAL CHAPEL 4 Division St., Bowmanville Tel. 623-5480 Serving Durham Region Since 1881 Our first response to almost almost any bad news is one of shock and denial. "It couldn't be true." This is often the case when one is informed of a fatal illness, or the sudden death of a loved one. The news is too terrible to accept. We may demand verification of the facts two or three times over before we stop disputing them. Even then, it is sometimes sometimes impossible to accept them psychologically. Our minds seem to try to protect us from this awful information. information. Sometimes we are buffered buffered by a state of shock which temporarily separates separates us from reality. This is topics including creative staffing, quality assurance and Memorial Hospital's newly developed diabetes program. The first day of the seminar seminar was spent at Memorial Hospital where the staffs from all three hospitals listened listened to various presentations presentations and toured the hospital. hospital. Day two of the seminar was spent at the Flying Dutchman Hotel in Bowmanville, Bowmanville, where approximately approximately 16 local hospital and nursing facilities shared speakers, including Dr. Josephine Flaherty, Principal Principal Nursing Officer with National Health and Welfare. Welfare. The final day of the exchange exchange was for the northern nursing staffs, and included discussions centred around situations specific to their working environments. Both hospitals are similar in size (38 beds in Sioux Lookout, 50 beds in Moose Factory) and that made the choice of Memorial Hospital Hospital very logical, according to Howard Embree, Head of the Administration Branch, Medical Service Branch, National Health and Welfare. Welfare. "In a smaller hospital everyone can relate," said Mr. Embree. Mr. Embree himself worked at Memorial Hospital Hospital over a dozen years ago, and is very familiar with the fine staff and high quality of care provided at the facility. facility. While the successful exchange exchange is over, it is hoped that the nurses will take the benefits of what they have learned and pass it along to other staff upon their return return to the north, according to Mrs. Lovell. There were senior staff members from each ward as well as the Director of Nursing Nursing from each hospital in attendance attendance at the seminar. Mr. Embree explained that it was difficult to bring a large group of nurses, because because the replacement forces in the north aren't as large as other areas, and enough staff had to stay behind behind to ensure that the hospitals hospitals continued to function properly. Still, there was a lot to be learned at the seminar, and it is guaranteed that many friendships, both professionally professionally and personally were made.
