Branson calls for nurses to form lobby
By JoLYNNE WALZ
Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan - Nurses should form lobbies to educate the government and the media about health and nursing issues, keynote speakers at a nursing seminar at the University of Kansas Medical Center said yesterday.
"During the session, write a letter or give your district legislator a call on the question."
KU tries to ease nurses' work
During the evening session, nurse and State Press, Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, said that if the 34,000 Kansas nurses, including the two in the Legislature, voted as a blao, they could be influential in state government.
On Oct. 28, 23 nurses on the day shift,
11 on the evening shift and five on the night shift called in sick and could not work, he said.
THE REGENTS met at the Med Center yesterday with doctors and administrators from the hospital to urge the law to do so once every three months.
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-There are more than 100 unfit nursing positions at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Richard von Ende, KU's vice president, told the Kansas Board of Regents yesterday at its monthly meeting.
Surveys have predicted a nationwide nummany as 100,000 nurses in the poor part of the country.

Von Ende told the Regents Health Education Committee that because of the severe nursing shortages, nurses have had to work several hours of overtime. The extra work caused many nurses to get sick.
Because of the nurses' complaints and because of the Med Center's desire to retain nurses, KU officials met recently with the nurses to hear their complaints that meeting KU has responded to some of the complaints, von Ende said.
- Nurses now can be hired at levels equal to their abilities, instead of just at the bottom pay level. The University also promoted 127 of the nurses already

Kalisch and her husband and research partner, Phillip, have analyzed hundreds of novels, movies and television shows with nurses as the subject matter. We have recorded statistics about characteristics common to nurses in the media.

SEX APPEAL is the only nursing attribute that is consistently emphasized in the women's health said, and emphasizes their movement, that trend has worsened
One example of the kind of media exposure that she said she would like to see stopped was the pictorial feature about nurses and dental hygienists scheduled for publication in Playboy magazine this year.
Michigan urged nurses at the seminar to form an organization similar to the Committee for Children's Television to monitor the media and write letters to students and sponsors of shows and articles for tortray nurses in a negative fashion.
"Nursing isn't well understood by the public, and it can't be until we talk to the media and tell them who we are and what we're doing." she said.
- Physicians' corporations have contributed money to pay tuition for nurses who want to enroll in advanced nursing education classes.

- A day care center will be established in January.
- A roster of nurses who want to work part-time has been compiled to handle emergencies or short-term needs.
REGENT ROBERT ONEIL, of Topela, said the board was very pleased with Chancellor Gene A. Budig's foresight concerning the nursing shortages and other nursing problems.
Because the federal government is cutting off most of its money for nursing students, Branson said the state would soon find it necessary to provide more training. It would be faced with an even greater nursing shortage than it already had.

Several of the issues Branson predicted the Legislature would consider in 1982 were proposals for establishing a regional poison control center at the Med Center, state funding for local health departments, the repeal of an early abortion legislation concerning nursing students and scholarships for nursing students.
"As this happens, there's less chance that nurses will be shown in a professional role moving up the ladder," she said.
