Nursing students secluded but busy
By DEBI MORROW
Staff Reporter
An alarm goes off at 6 a.m. every day to start Jodi on her 15-hour school day. She is one of 170 nursing students at the University of Kansas School of Nursing in Kansas City, Kan., who devote more than half their hours each day to school.
"I don't even feel as if I'm in college any more," Jinko Knotke, Arkansas City junior, said. "I am at a medical center is so professional and I need to be dedicated—you grow up very quickly here."
Much of a nursing student's time is spent in clinical nursing courses in which he or she practices in cities in the Kansas City area caring for children. The courses last from four to eight hours each day.
STUDENTS generally are assigned two patients for clinicals and are responsible for checking the patients' charts and diagnoses periodically.
"We give a lot of emotional support," Knocke said. "Regular nurses don't have time to explain procedures or re-explain the doctor's diagnoses."
Giving bed baths, changing bed linen and checking KVA (intravenous tubes) are also used.
"The staff nurses are always willing to demonstrate procedures," Knocke says. "Some will let you give injections if you're experienced."
When students aren't in clinicals, they are usually in classes such as pathology, advanced physiology, statistics and pharmacology. The student must have 48 hours of nursing credit.
"We MUST spend 34 40 hours a week on the campus simply going to class." Knocke says. "Wibs, it can last even longer. In college, you never spend that much time."
She said that study hours averaged four to five hours a night. Much of the time is spent (about 20%) on homework.
"Since there are only six students to a professor during clinicals, you get to know instructors as friends," Sheryl Ingram, Overland Park junior, said.
"They share more with you—their experiences in school, their mistakes. You're
Knoke said the administration also paid much attention to students' wants and needs.
Although the tuition for nursing students is lower than it is for regular students—about 40% of them do not generally make the costs as high as or higher than costs at the Lawrence campus.

You'll spend $100 to $150 on uniforms, "$25 for a hat, "$30 for a jacket, you never sell back," Ingram said. "Then there's always living expense. We don't want it." He plays of plays, concerts or movies in the University.
Knoke said, "The social life is practically nothing. "Many students are married or working, and you live in so many homes that you must make your own social life."
MANY STUDENTS who do work, work at the Med Center. Students are allowed to work during the school year on a part-time basis.
Ingram works in the hematology department and Knocke in the psychotherapy department.
"Being here lets me see what a fantasy world college is. Here I'm exposed to death, illness, depression, sadness—the real world."
Knocken must wear street clothes to work and has learned to help patients by asking them questions.
KNOCKE AND INgram said that having a Med Center separate from the rest of the clinic was necessary.
"The seclusion of the campus makes it easier to study," Ingram said. "There aren't the temptations. You simply can't miss classes here."
Greeks grapple with investigation
The University Senate Human Relations Committee met in closed session Monday with representatives of five University of Texas women groups to discuss an inquiry into possible racial discrimination.
A later meeting is planned with seven other sororities and with KU fraternities and other campus living groups. The seven sororites said they were required to receive financial support to separate national headquarters before discussing their confidential procedures.
Tim Metzler, IPC president, said Monday that a letter from the committee announcing the hearings contained factual information to the IFC representatives wanted to correct.
"The committee thought that the IFC and the Panhelenic Council were one organization and that it had no minority representation," he said. "Although we

Metzler said, however, there was a need for greater minority representation in front of him.
