Attitudes from page 1
Americans are HIV positive accord
ing to the CDC.
Dave Rompa, the director of
AIDS education and outreach at the
University of Wisconsin, thinks the
CDC statistics regarding college
students are too conservative.
“This number is, in reality, much
larger,” he said. Rompa pointed out
that students often have a different
definition for “monogamy” than
older citizens.
“We think of monogamy as one
person for a long time, but a student
thinks in terms of one person for two
weeks.”
Current statistics on university
students must not lead to compla
cency, said Dr. Mervyn Silverman,
president of the American Founda
tion for AIDS Research, who admit
ted to a deep concern for the college
age population.
“Sadly, there tends to be a great
deal of denial practiced by that age
group,” he said.
Frank Richards, director of one
of several AIDS resource centers at
the University of Central Florida,
also expressed his concern for stu
dents. He warns young adults that
“you have sex with every person

Others think that Johnson’s an
nouncement will change things.
“I think fear is breaking through
the denial. Magic Johnson makes it
hard to keep denial going,” said Andy
Winzelberg, assistant director of
health education at the University of
California at Santa Barbara.
The Santa Barbara campus offers
incoming freshman AIDS education,
sponsors a one-week Safer Sex Fair,
exhibits the famous AIDS quilt and
sponsors well-attended shows by
California celebrities such as a former
Berkeley professor-turned-comic
who is infected with the HIV virus.

Edward says that they have found
that most overweight people don’t

“It’s important to eat breakfast
because food along with exercise
wakes up your metabolism,” said
Edwards.
According to Edwards those

Along with not eating breakfast,

hash browns it will cost you 627

to Taco Bell and order a beef burrito,
two tacos and a medium coke that
will cost you 876 calories.
If that evening at Long John Sil

increase to twice that number.
Bernhardt says there is a greater
need for nurses with management
skills provided through B.S.N. pro
grams because patients are leaving
hospitals sooner, and sicker. Nurses
must know how to manage home
health to
care for patients. Nurses witij four
year degrees are also better able to
make critical decisions because they
have more experience in decision
making, Bernhardt added.
The college has awarded 27
B.S.N. degrees since this program
was added to the original Associate
of Science (two-year) degree offer
ing. More than 400 A.S. degrees
have been awarded since that pro
gram was launched in 1974. In six of
the past seven years, West Georgia’s
A.S. graduates have exceeded both
the state and national passing rate for
the R.N. examination on their first
attempt, with an average passing rate
of 92 percent.
In order to enroll in the B.S.N.
program, one has to be certified as a
Registered Nurse (R.N) and to have
graduated from an accredited School
of Nursing.

rolled in its associate degree pro
gram, butaccording to Mary O’Neill,
assistant professor of nursing, the
B.S.N. program could accommodate
about 30 more students.
She said that most B.S.N. students
are married; most are working as
well as going to school, and they are
“exemplary students.”
She added, “Many can now re
ceive grants to help with their school
expenses since the program became
accredited last year. O’Neill said
students are enrolled in this program
“for their own personal and profes
sional advancement.”
In the Community Health Course
that O’Neill teaches, students are
placed in agencies or industries with
a clinical setting, which provides a
different background from a hospi
tal where most are employed. Their
task is to learn the role of a nurse in
these areas, but theirs is a “hands on”
job in addition to observation, ac
cording to O’Neill.
Nurses who choose the four-year
program can often expect higher pay,
increased job security and opportu
nities for advancement. West
Georgia is the only college within 50
miles offering the four-year nursing
degree.
