State Nursing Board Approves Hope-Calvin Program The Michigan Board of Nursing has given initial approval for establishment by Hope College in Holland and Calvin College in Grand Rapids of a shared baccalaureate degree program in nursing beginning next fall. The initial approval was awarded by the state agency late Wednesday afternoon (April 14) during a meeting in Lansing. Upon completion of the four-year curriculum at either Hope or Calvin, a student will receive the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN ). ''While baccalaureate nursing programs in liberal arts colleges such as Hope and Calvin are commonplace, a single program involving two institutions i& not," notes Dr. Cynthia Kielinen, chairperson of the nursing department. "In general, cooperation between colleges and universities has been hampered by the feeling that it necessitated compromise. But this program is unique in that there is mutual decision-making, a joint budget and a shared faculty. By

avoiding duplication, we will offer a quality program in a cost-effective manner which responds to a national need for more nurses with a baccalaureate degree." Clinical education centers will be located at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids and Holland Community Hospital, as well as at other west Michigan healthcare providers. 44A major goal of these relationships will be to ensure quality baccalaureate nursing education and at the same time bridge the gap that frequently exists between nursing practice and nursing education," said Kielinen. The new program responds to an expressed strong interest in nursing by current and prospective students at both schools. Each college has traditionally emphasized the "helping professions" through their academic programs and philisophies. The department plans to admit 50 students beginning next fall. Thereafter, 70 students will be admitted annually.

The second play, "Der Hund im Hirn" (Dog on the Mind) is about a cunning professor who makes a fool of his young wife's ardent admirer by tricking him into believing the dog he was bitten by has rabies. The two plays can be enjoyed even if you do not understand German.
