After 27 years, the St. a Science of and Nursing proNursing developed Masters gram (MSN). Westminsters higher nursing education will focus on the students baccalaureate experiences and develop more skills in becoming an advanced family nurse practitioner. As the dramatic changes in health care occur, the vision of health care is moving into health prevention, promotion and education about illnesses. Nursing is teaching people how to stay healthy and to Marks-Westminst- er th learn prevention in the future, which is significantly different than medicine, said Dr. Imogene Rigdon, dean and program director. Nurse practitioners look at the mind, body and spirit as factors to create a health or illness diagnoses, said Rigdon, This is a multifaceted approach rather than prescribing bedrest and a pill. Out of 75 applicants, Westminsters Graduate e Admissions Committee selected 15 students for the masters program, said Beverly Levy, associate director of admissions. We have 15 wonderful students who are dedicated and energetic, said Rigdon. The college received many calls throughout the community inquiring about the full-tim- masters program. The MSN degree is very flexible to the students professional work schedule. The classes are offered one night a week, and weekend seminars are available. The students must also complete 588 clinical practice hours. This program allows students to participate in occupational health clinics, Planned Parenthood, the Tooele Housing Project and also participate in a faculty health promotion activity. This activity will collaborate with the undergraduate students of nursing to conduct educational health plans. The students will also leam advance health techniques and interviewing skills for people of all ages. A lot of people applied, largely throughout the nursing community in Utah, Levy said. Lois and Clark l us here at Lois and Clark to believe that a plan was in the works long ago to rid the school of the ancient hall at a profit. Is it only a coincidence? Sources have not indicated a link between Whites insight and the fire that destroyed the third floor of Hogle Hall this summer. If you have any information Whites regarding psychic or a beurocratic scam of prowess, he may have tried to warn us of, please contact the Lois and Clark office. DICE THAT. Westminsters New Polo Team Is Westminster going Ivy League? The new, preppy look for the security patrol might give some insight to a rumor that Westminster will soon have a polo team. Ted Westminster soccer sensation Todd Miller recently received a surprise caller as the guest on KSLs Sports Beat Saturday. The caller identified only as Willy inquired about the importance of developing upper body strength for soccer. Miller, who appeared rather nervous, seemed dumbfounded when the caller inquired further about developing pecks and lats a common phrase used by Coach Chris Dorich. Miller said when he finally realized it was teammate Chris Wilcox he just about lost it. I had trouble not laughing, admitted Miller. Wilcox not only loosened up Miller but also identified him with the correct team. The previous caller had asked about playing soccer at Weber State. Hogle Fire Fraud dence? or Coinci- Was the Hogle Hall fire an insurance scam? Is Mathew White, former Forum production and business manager, a psychic? The Forum office bulletin board offers the clues. The Forum style guide, written by White last year, proposes that Hogle Hall was headed for the wrecking ball. Whites headline and first sentence The end is near for Hogle Hall does lead some of The Terminator Downs, a patrolman, suggested to an unidentified source that the change is the result of a master plan for a polo team. A team name has not been circulated, but The Stingers might be appropriate, considering the players dual role on campus. More information has been leaked to Lois and Clark involving the prospect of requesting Westminster President Peggy Stocks prized Arabian horses for the games.
