1&L, MEW$C0PE GREENSBORO, N.C. WESLEY LONG COMMUNITY HOSPITAL JULY-SEPTEMBER, 1980 What's It All About? People working to help people is what United Way is all about. Those who are needed reach out to aid the truly needy —in countless ways, everyday. United Way can work because of your contribution. Wesley Long's United Way campaign will take place in October. This year, don't forget "people" when asked to support the United Way. It will work. Thanks to you. Close-up Wesley Long's New Oncology Nurse "There is a tremendous need for emotional support for both the patient and family who are faced with cancer," explains Sue Enright, Wesley Long's new oncology nurse. Working under the Department of Nursing, Sue began her position on July 21. Previously she was an R.N. in ICCU and head nurse on sixth floor at Wesley Long. Sue completed nurses training at Oak Park Hospital, Oak Park, Illinois. In her new role Sue sees herself as a support person for the cancer patient and his family. "I will meet with the patient and his family to help them deal with the illness and any problems or concerns resulting from it," says Sue. Working closely with four Greensboro oncologists (Drs. Karb, Lusk. Rosen and Sillmon) and their patients, Sue makes rounds with physicians in order to become acquainted with individual patients. She will work with other physicians and their patients on a referral basis. "I would like to offer my assistance to any physician who has a cancer patient at our hospital," stresses Sue. Describing her job as an oncology nurse, Sue points out seven areas she is concentrating on. A registered nurse who is free from staff duties, she acts as a "greeter, explainer, translator, message carrier, family supporter, information gatherer and staff sensitizer." More particularly, Sue accompanies a physician to the patient's room and after being introduced to the patient, will visit daily for the length of the hospital stay. The "greeter" role also is important to the repeat patient or the patient who is hospitalized more than one time. The oncology nurse is there to give a warm reception to her former patients so they will have a familiar face with which to relate. Sue is very interested in establishing a harmonious relationship with each patient she assists. On subsequent visits to the patient, Sue acts as an explainer, letting the patient know exactly why he is a patient and what his treatment will be. As a translator, Sue clarifies to Continued on Page 2 Physicians Join WLCH Medical Staff The new face in the Wesley Long Emegency Room is Dr. Ronald Roberts.
