SCHOOL OF ALLIED HEALTH
School gives students real-world experience
By C.J. MOORE correspondent@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Jill Nemechek will miss her classmates, but won't miss the three to four tests a week that was the norm during her time in the School of Allied Health.
Nemechek, Wakeeney senior is receiving a bachelor's degree in clinical laboratory science Saturday, and has been chosen as banner carrier for the ceremony. Nemechek, the top graduate in clinical laboratory science, completed her bachelor's degree in three years — two years at the University and one year at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Nemechek values the friendships she has developed while in the school.
"I will remember my classmates," she said. "We spent all day every day together, and you get to know people really well. We had a lot of fun together."
She said the School of Allied Health had prepared her for success in her future career.
"I think it's a good school and everyone that comes out of the school really knows what they need to know," Nemechek said. "It's pretty well known. I have talked to people from other

states and they know about KU Med."
Nemechek, like many other students graduating from the school, already has a job lined up. She has accepted a position in microbiology at the Med Center.
On May 21 at Memorial Hall, the School of Allied Health will award 21 different degrees to students. Most of the degrees awarded to students in the school are graduate degrees, masters or doctorate. With 10 different departments and nine clinical disciplines, students in the school receive an education that is focused toward their future professional field.
"Our students are highly motivated," said Karen L. Miller, dean of the School of Allied Health. "They go into it knowing that it's hard work and they have to focus."
as she has done in past years. She will deliver a message to the students that highlights the importance of their futures in their respective communities.
Miller will give the address at the commencement ceremony
"What I like to talk to them about is the fact that they are going to have tremendous responsibility in society for health care quality and safety," she said. "They are joining a group of professions that is dedicated to saving lives, and that's a very unique role in community and they are well educated to do that."
The school presents students with the opportunity to get real-world experience while going to school. Students in the school are given immense responsibility, including the opportunity to care for actual patients.
Special recognition will be given to the dean scholars, students who have received scholarships during their time in the school, students in honor societies and students who are graduating cum laude.

When Karen L. Miller, the dean of KU's School of Nursing and School of Allied Health, gives her greeting at the recognition ceremony for the School of Nursing, she plans on speaking about the important roles a nurse has in society.
Miller said that nurses make a tremendous difference in the world in their role as "direct care givers."
Each type of nurse still has a primary goal, which is to administer to people's needs. She also said she will touch on the excellence of the educational programs at the School of Nursing.
"Caring is the essence of nurse practice," said Miller. "Our environment offers nurses more opportunities for outstanding decision-making, communication and clinical research. The excellence of our programs is a result of the expertise of the faculty."
The purpose of the ceremony, which will be held on Saturday, is to recognize the 226 students at the School of Nursing who will be graduating in 2005.
The students recognized in the ceremony will not only be those receiving their bachelors degree, but also those graduating from the masters and Ph.D. programs. The ceremony will include those stu

dents graduating May and in August.
"In nursing, traditionally there was a pinning ceremony. This evolved into the present-day recognition ceremony," said Elaine Brinson, manager of the Student Affairs Office at the School of Nursing.
The ceremony will be about an hour long and will include the presentation of awards and greetings from the dean and Barabara Atkinson, the executive vice-chancellor.
The awards will be given by such organizations as the Nurses Alumni Association, the nursing honors society Sigma Theta Tau, the KU Medical Center, as well as the School of Nursing itself.
Brinson, who is responsible for coordinating the ceremony, said the awards will reflect such aspects of student excellence as grades, leadership, and community service.
