While I was assigned at William Beaumont Army Medical Center I was asked to help with setting up an OR-specific elective class for senior Nursing students at the University of Texas at El Paso. Students in most BSN programs get very little exposure to Surgery, although many are interested. I worked with the faculty instructor to establish a curriculum for the students and then, along with my staff, precepted students who signed up for the elective during the 1993-1994 school year. It was a very positive experience for the students and my staff. Since I had plans to retire in early 1995, I handed the responsibility over to one of my subordinates for the 1994-1995 school year.
