Moses Cone Hospital has taken
another step toward the computer age
in hospital administration. We have
become a subscriber to the services
provided by the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities, a
non-profit, educational and scientific

31 senior nursing students will go

for a four-year curriculum. The Admissions Office at UNC-G is planning

The graduating class represents 20
different North Carolina cities. Only
two of the students are from out of
state. One is from Millwood, W. Va.,

graduation, sixteen of the seniors plan
to work at Moses Cone Hospital; ten
others will work in other North Carolina hospitals, one will go to S. C, one
to W. Va., one to Alabama and two
to N. Y. One student is planning to
enter Anesthesia School at Charlotte
Memorial Hospital.
Five members of the class of 1966
are already married. Seven other graduates are planning to marry this summer.
During their first year, the girls
spend one day a week in the hospital
and the rest of the time is spent in
class at UNC-G. In their second year,
the students are in the hospital getting
