14 First Nursing Graduates Cedarville College's first class of nursing students will graduate in June, 1985. The nursing program which began in 1981 has prospered under the leadership of Dr. Irene Alyn. The department has grown to six full-time and one part-time faculty members. As a group they represent a total of over 100 years of professional nursing experience. With an enrollment of 180, nursing is currently Cedarville 's third largest major, following Business Administration and Education. According to Dr. Alyn , Cedarville' s nursing students are distinctive in that they are taught not only to care for a patient, but also to care about and to care with a patient. Offering the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, the four-year nursing program is approved by the Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio Board of Nursing Education and Registration. The program is eligible this year for accreditation by the National League for Nurs_ing. Students in Demand Director of Placement David Gaffner reports that in the four years since the placement office was established, increasing numbers of employers have been recruiting on campus. "Thus far this year," he says , "about 50 representatives of employers have come to Cedarville in search of prospects." One representative of a well-known corporation expressed his desire that a "pipe line" be built between the corporate offices and Cedarville so that students could be easily channeled his way. Asked why Cedarville graduates are so desirable, Gaffner explains that our students are valued not only for the quality of their academic preparation but also for their high moral standards and work ethic.
