Times-Advocate, 1978-02-02, Page 7Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dorman Fifty attend session called by NURSE Times-Advocqte, February 2, 1978 Riddell warns nurses it's hard to regain losses Ailsa Craig pair mark 60 years By JOY SCHEIFELE Howard and Estella Dorman of Ailsa Craig quietly celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Monday. The couple were married at Brinsley at the home of the bride, January 30, 1918. Both were born in the area. Mrs. Dorman (nee Trevithick) was born at Crediton, and moved to Brinsley while still a young girl, where her family owned the general store. The couple were married by the minister of the Methodist Church the Rev. Snowdon. Following the ceremony the couple left for 1Over 80 Club Mrs. Cora Wein, Crediton, celebrated her 83rd birthday on i February 1. Ailsa Craig by cutter, caught the train for Toronto where they spent their honeymoon. The Dormans farmed on the family farm on the 4th concession ofMcGillivray Township until 1965. They had two children, a son, Jack, and a daughter, Mary (Mrs. Milton Tweddle) who continue to live in the Ailsa Craig area. They have 9 grandchildren and 7 great­ grandchildren. Mrs. Dorman moved into Craigholme Nursing Home in 1974 and her husband has recently joined her there. Both enjoy relatively good health. The family had planned special anniversary celebration to mark the occasion last Friday at the senior citizens Activity Centre in Ailsa Craig, but the severe storm prevented it being held. Plans are being made to re-schedule it as weather conditions improve. A gathering of 50 nurses from Huron and Perth Counties at the South Huron Rec Centre, was told on Sunday that “it is time for the College of Nurses to level with the nurses of Ontario.” Barbara Dundas, a spokes­ person for NURSE (Nurses United for Registration Security and Employment) told the audience that proposals put forward by the college of Nurses calling for the revision in the conditions for the issuance of a cer­ tificate of competence were discriminatory against those nurses who were out of the country, who had to stop work because of health reasons or who could not find part-time work. A copy of the proposal handed out at the meeting stated that individuals who had not been employed for over five years or “persons who have not been employed in nursing for less than 50 days in one year within the last five years” would not qualify for the competence certificate. Nurses not qualifying for the certificate of competence would have to take an “approved educational program in nursing” the proposal states, and then pass the registration exam. Mrs. Dundas said that a meeting between the College and representatives of NURSE “raised more questions than it answered”. She stated that it was the vagueness of the proposal that was worrysome. NURSE was “100 percent behind refresher courses”, the spokes-person said “but we could not go along with the undemocratic proposal as put forward by the College.” When the College was asked by NURSE as to what instigated the development of the proposal, they were told it was the number of cases of misconduct that had come before the College. In a question and answer period later in the meeting, it was revealed that of the 40 cases of misconduct that had been brought before the discipline committee of the college in 1976, less than one half were for incompetence. This was out of a total of 80,000 working RN’s and RNA’s in Ontario. Dundas explained that in the opinion of NURSE, the public is already adequately protected in terms of nurse’s competence which is the reason for the proposal according to the College. “The employee-employer relationship is still the best form of protection,” Dundas stated. Speaking for the fledgling nurses’s organization, Dundas said the college proposal was indicative of a revision of the nursing profession in Ontario with the possibility that one day, a B.A. may be required. “Nurses are ehtitled to know what the future of nursing in Ontario is,” Dundas remarked. Miss Joan MacDonald, director of the College who was in attendance at the meeting, said that six other provinces had some form of employment standards. The proposal, she said, was designed to secure input from the nurses and that the document would not be sent to the minister of health for approval in its present form. “It is the intent of the council (of the College) to review the proposal after input has been received,” Miss MacDonald said. In a question and answer period, Bev Read told Miss MacDonald that refresher courses that would be required in order to acquire the certificate of com­ petence, should be offered by the same organization that issues the standards. Miss MacDonald said that the college doesn’t have the resources to offer these courses and that the ministry of health was against the College offering courses. Once again the question of thevaguenessof the proposal came up when Read asked “If the College of Nurses had gone to the trouble of setting up such a proposal, why wasn’t a program of re-entry developed along with it?’’ Earlier in the meeting, it was pointed out that few refresher programs which would allow for re-entry, are available in the province. A program offered by Fan­ shawe College in London would take 18 months of part- time study to complete according to Dee Beuerman of Exeter, an organizer of Sunday's meeting. MPP Jack Riddell told a cheering audience the province shouldn’t take away a nurse’s certification once it is granted. He said the nurses should consider the proposals seriously because “when something is taken away from you it’s very hard to get it back.” However, he told the nurses they should be prepared to take refresher courses.
