Mrs. Pederson, Mrs. Greene, Director of Nursing at the Nursing and Health Genter, and I, reviewed the program as Outlined in the agreement, several times, Mrs. Greend and I agree that, the program would be beneficial to the Nursing and Health Center both from a standpoint of Community parti- Clpetlon and from benefits to both the patients and staff which may came from the program. We felt that we ought to partSCinate at least for the First year and than evaluate the experience to see if we should continue. The student nurses will not effect a reduction instaff needs here but neither will there be a need to hire added people � There will be no Bost to the City engendered by the Nursing Centerfs Participation. Our participation on the other hand, may result in strengthen- ing the ability of the Center and other participating nursing homes and hospitals, to recruit graduate UN's to work effectlwely with the chronically ill.
