MCC students bring everything from their headaches to their marriage problems to Louise Lundemo every day. But Mrs. Lundemo, who heads the health service at McHenry County college, doesn't mind. "I really like my job. My days are never boring, and I like to help people with their problems," she explains. Mrs. Lundemo is a Wood­ stock resident who came to MCC from a job as director of nursing for a nursing home. A registered nurse, Louise has a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing education from Loyola university. She has been at MCC for four years, setting up the health service and serving the health needs of students, faculty and staff. She operates the health service under the auspices of Dr. John C. Paul, Woodstock, who has been MCC's consulting physician since 1974. Qn an average day Mrs. Lundemo helps forty people- some come to her overtired or with cut fingers while others want advice on how to lose weight or how to deal with child abuse by members of their family. "I find myself doing general counseling as well as health counseling", Mrs. Lundemo explains. All information she gets from students in helping them with their problems is confidential, she stresses. Sometimes, however, with a student's permission she will work with MCC instructors or counselors to help solve the student's problems. x Another part of her job is educating students and staff on preventing health problems. This fall "She is leading a seminar entitled "Women and Health Care", as well as running a blood drive and screening everyone at MCC for high blood pressure. Mrs. Lundemo points out her job is different than that of a high school or grade school nurse. "For one thing, my patients are adults and medicine may be given out­ like aspirin or cough syrup. For another, many aren't really physically sick, but are suf­ fering from stress or some emotional problem," she said. "I think students here are convinced they can talk to me, that what they tell me is con­ fidential. I have found that students I have helped have sent in their friends." She gives out a large number of pamphlets and brochures provided by various agencies as well as writing articles for the student newspaper "The Tartan". As head of the health service she is also responsible for treating students and staff members in an emergency. While the health service does provide MCC students with a variety of services, many students are referred to doctors if their problems are serious ones. "We don't do throat cultures, or pregnancy testing, but we can give students in-» formation on where to get these services," she said. In 1974, in recognition of the fact that academic success depends in part upon good physical and mental health, MCC established the health service program. There was virtually no budget for the health services and Mrs. Lundemo found part of her job was to get items like stethoscopes, blood pressure testing equipment and medicines donated. The college still is the recipient of a good number of drug samples from pharmaceutical companies and the free items help cut the costs of supplying students with cough syrup or aspirin, she said. Disabled students who are enrolled at MCC turn to Mrs Lundemo to get them parking permits and elevator keys. Others who have enrolled in nurse aide courses offered at MCC have found her teaching their classes. She is also in­ volved on a committee to establish courses for nurses who wish to continue their education after they have completed their basic education and are working. The health problems MCC students and staff bring Mrs. Lundemo are varied. On a recent day she had the kind of variety that she says makes her job interesting-everything from a student with blisters on both heels, another with an upset stomach, to the student who was upset over the death of a friend and wanted to use the health services rest area to lie down. "One girl came in to have her pierced ears checked because they were weeping a little. Others had sore throats, a cough, a headache, or wanted their blood pressure checked," she recalled. There is a steady stream of people coming in every day to climb on the health service scale as part of Mrs. Lud- nemo's weigh-in service for people trying to lose weight. And, she said, there is always the student who is just lonely and looking for someone to talk to. Study Skills Seminar Fall College Offering MCC will offer a study skills seminar on two con­ secutive Saturdays, Oct. 29 and Nov. 5. Students will learn how to read something once and remember it, concentration skills, how to take lecture notes, how to become a better listener, how to study for and pass exams, and speed-reading techniques.
