DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF THE STUDENT NURSE

Abstract

The following is a report of the third year's work of the Human Relations Servicel program given at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital School of Nursing by the Staff of the Human Relations Service. The Seminar in Human Relations was begun in 1952 because of the joint interest of the Faculty of the School and the Service in the possibilities of alleviating some of the emotional tensions which are found during the educational process of the nurse. It was hoped through group discussion that these tensions could be handled before they became incapacitating for the individual student. The pilot class met for twelve seminar sessions in the first six months of the freshman year. The next year's entering class met for eighteen seminar sessions in the first six months
