periences include the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital and Shriner's Hospital. Students eligible for Weber State College are selected for the nursing program on the basis of the entrance test scores, high school achievement, and a personal interview. Successful completion of this program entitles the graduate to an Associate of Science degree from Weber State College and eligibility to write the State Board Test Pool licensing examinations for the Registered Nurse license. The program has been accredited by the Utah Board of Nursing and by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The Preliminary Review for accreditation by the National League for Nursing has been approved, and plans are in progress for a full scale accreditation visit before July 1967. The philosophy of the Associate Degree program in Nursing is in harmony with that of Weber State College. The nursing faculty believes: That education should afford an opportunity for the development of one's capacities in his social, professional, and personal roles. That this opportunity may be provided through a well planned program based on scientific, cultural, and social experiences. That an effective learning environment provides for individual differences, fosters continuing growth in self direction, and promotes an awareness not only of one's special aptitudes but ones limitations. That continuity of learning is achieved by concurrence of theory and laboratory experience. That by implementing the above principles, the associate degree program will be able to prepare a nurse technician who is able to give patient centered care under supervision in staff nurse positions; to work with professional nurses and others in planning the daily care of patients; to direct the activities of others in giving the technical aspects of patient care; and to draw on principles from her general educational background, in planning patient care. The graduate will be granted an associate science degree upon the completion of the program and will be eligible to write the licensing examination for the registered nurse license. The students majoring in the Associate Degree Program in Nursing will be required to meet both general education and nursing courses.
