"Nurse Update" At Hospital Registered nurses who are interested in enroling in the autumn "Nurse Update" course at McHenry hospital may call the hospital's staff development department for an interview, according to Pat Kelly, R.N., director of staff development. Selection of candidates for the free course will be made within the next month. "This fifth refresher course will cover ten weeks and has been scheduled to ac­ commodate nurses who have school-age children," Mrs. Kelly said. "Classes will begin in September , after school opens, and will end before Thanksgiving." "Over the past two years, we have presented this course four times and have found it to be both popular and effective. It has succeeded in preparing many registered nurses to re­ enter their profession after years of full-time homemaking and child-bearing." The curriculum includes classes in current concepts of nursing, modern pharmacology and hospital procedures and policies. Extensive, supervised patient-care experience follows classwork, in order to provide for practical application of new concepts. "There is no cost for this course except for the cost of textbooks," Mrs. Kelly added. "I will be happy to confer with any registered nurses currently licensed in Illinois and can be reached at 385-2200, extension 642".
