rAGE EOVR THE tOCtUMiP COONTT HAVERSTRAW. W- X- FEBRUARY 28, 1958 East County Residents Favor Nyack Expansion A sweeping majority of eastern Rockland County residents taking part in the survey recently con ducted on behalf of Nyack Hos pital would like to see the hospital ■enlarged and modernized. An al most equally large number arc in favor of seeking funds by public subscription as the best method of making such expansion. In making public these conclus ions, William B. Page, president of the hospital's board of managers, disclosed that 88 per cent of all those replying reconunended the enlargement and modernization and 84 per cent expressed approv al of a community-wide fund cam paign. Mr. Page said that on the basis of the study just completed, the board of managers will formulate a program for the hospital ’ s devel opment which will take into ac count the opinions of the people. As revealed in the third and final analysis of replies, 71 per cent of the survey participants correct ly answered “ No ” to the question; “Do you believe the hospital re ceives enough money from patients to pay for enlargement after nec essary running expenses have been met? ” Another question asked what course would be most favored in Ihe event that income from pat ients, and from all other sources, failed to meet the costs of running the hospital. Only one per cent .would cut expenses without regard for standards of services, and an other one per cent would let the 'bospital run into debt. Ninety-eight per cent said they would appeal to the people for contributions. That the average person making his home in eastern Rockland County prefers to receive hospital care at Nyack Hospital rather than ^o elsewhere, is borne out by the analysis, which indicates such a preference in a ratio of nearly five to one.

CANDIDATES FOR TRUSTEES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Suffern, N. Y. February 20, 1952 Editor, The Times: New York State is planning to expand its present hospital bed capacity of 148,705 by approxim ately 15,000 additional beds during 1952. At the same time, the 'state has a shortage of nearly 200 qual ified instructors in the hospital and collegiate schools of nursing which are our only source of registered nurses. Obviously, the present shortage of nurses in hospitals can only be aggravated if current expansion plans go through without some cor responding increase in New York ’ s facilities for educating nurses. The state needs more hospital beds, certainly, but it needs more nurses, too — it must have them if the hos pital expansion program is to have any value. The New York State Nurses As sociation, feeling that the alarm ing shortage of instructors in our New York schools of nursing is the key to this problem, is sponsoring the Brydges-Austin bill in the New York Legislature. This bill would create 50 graduate scholarships of $500 annually to be awarded to re gistered nurses who wish to pre pare themselves for teaching pos itions. The state at present has no schoU arships for nursing education, al though it awards 72 four-year scholarships, at $750 a year, an nually for medical education, and 28 $750 four-year scholarships for dentists. We think it is quite apparent that the registered nurse, particularly in the field of hospital service, is as essential a member of the health , team as either the doctor or the NEW ROOSEVELT TAKES A BOW . . .

But no matter how many students nur sing organizations can recruit, if there is a shortage of instructors to teach those students, the nursing picture catinot improve. A short age of instructors creates a bottle neck in nursing education which can only be eliminated by bring- • ing school faculties up to strength. I The need for state'nursing schol- [ arships is ernphasized by the fact, that the registered n u r s e, be cause of the relatively low pay scales prevailing for nurses in com parison with the other health pro- k ’ ssions, is handicapped in finan cing the costs of graduate educa tion. New York nurses feel that these ‘ graduate scholarships are so im portant that many of the New York State Nurses Association local districts have created scholarship lean funds from their ov/n small treasuries. This has not been enough, and so we are calling on the state legislature to remedy this flaw in New York ’ s generally ex cellent health program. In addition, the NYSNA is sp^- soring an additional bill in the 1«- j islature which would create oOO basic nursing scholarships of $150 for the first year and $1C0 for each succeeding year. We feel this is necessary because nursing schools, which 2D years .:go usually ollered students free uition, have today for the most part adopted tuition c'narges com- larable to those charged for other forms of post-secondary education. * The day when qualified j^oung men , or women could become a register- ^ ed nurse without substantial finan-t cial resources is ending. I Since schools of nursing restrict ’ their entering students to those who were in the highest third of their high school class, they havei a limited pool of potential students to begin with. We believe it is im portant to the health of li e citi zens of this state that no highly qualified student should be barred from entering a school of nursing by lack of funds. The graduate scholarship bill was introduced by Senator Earl Brydges (R., Niagara Falls), and Assemblyman Bernard Austin (D., Kings), on February 4. The b^ic scholarship bill was introduced on the same day by Senator Brydges and Assemblywoman Maude E.
