LU addresses nursing shortage
By David Barras
UP senior staff writer
Southeast Texas, like the rest of
the United States, is undergoing a
shortage of nurses, and Lamar is at-
tempting to provide qualified per-
sonnel to meet that need.
“Local health-care officials ap-
proached the university several
years ago about the nursing shor-
tage,” said Eileen Tiedt, chair of the
department of nursing.
The department has responded by
accepting a larger number of
students.
During their freshman year, nurs-
ing students do not take courses in
their core curriculum. As
sophomores they may enter the pro-
gram and take nursing courses if
they qualify. Two years ago, the
department accepted a larger group
of sophomores. Last year, they did
the same.
With the two-year associate
degrees in registered nursing of-
fered today, the licensed vocational
nurses (LVN’s) are finding it harder
to get jobs.
Tiedt said that because of this,
Lamar is trying to start a Career
Mobility Track for LVN’s. This pro-
gram accepts LVN’s and builds on
the education they already have to
award them an associate degree.
Tiedt and the rest of the faculty
have worked hard to expand the pro-
gram. “The faculty should be com-
mended for getting the program off
the ground without extra compensa-
tion,” she said.
“We got a special fund from the
state,” Tiedt said, but before that,
the university itself provided money
where it could to expand the pro-
gram.
Tiedt said there were problems
not only with financial resources but
also with faculty and clinical
resources, which are so important to
the nursing program..
“Even though we’re the only
registered nursing program in the
area, we’re also looking at ex-
hausting the clinical resources,” she
said.
She said the university was also
contributing to the community’s
economic situation. “We’re pro-
viding job and career opportunities
for a number of people in the area,”
Tiedt said.
The Texas Faculty Association
will conduct a membership drive
beginning Monday that will run
through Oct. 27.
State representatives of TFA,
assisted by chapter members at
Lamar, will talk with faculty during
the week, said William White, pro-
fessor of Educational psychology and
president of Lamar’s TFA chapter.
White said that about 20 Lamar
faculty members are currently in
TFA and that the campus chapter
has been established for at least 10
years.
The TFA recently revealed its
legislative/political action agenda
for the 72nd Legislature. At a forum
held here, TFA’s Houston regional
director, Louis Bolieu, laid out a pro-
gram that contained three main
components. They include political
candidate screening and endorse-
ment, political contributions and
legislative candidate assistance in
election campaigns.
“It does no good to have a Magna
Carta of a legislative platform if you
cannot get your legislation passed.
First we must select education can-
didates and see to their election,”
Bolieu said.
In each legislative district, a train-
ed interview team of teachers
(TSTA), college and university
faculty (TFA) and students (TSEA)
interview legislative candidates, in-
cluding incumbents. The team
selects its choices and passes the
news to the TSTA-PAC, which deter-
mines the final endorsement and
level of contribution from organiza-
tional funds.
In the last election year, TSTA-
PAC dispensed more than $200,000 in
political contributions. This year, a
well-staffed program is expected to
raise over $500,000. g
TFA/TSTA’s successes in the 71st
Legislature illustrate the wisdom of
the program, Bolieu said.
“The passage of improvements in
the Teacher Retirement System
(TRS), abolition of mandatory facul-
ty retirement at age 70, and the in-
crease of faculty salaries and
benefits would not have been possi-
ble if we were merely arguing their
merits before legislative commit-
tees.” Bolieu said.
Bolieu said TFA had to remind
every legislator they had helped and
also had to flood legislative
mailboxes with letters from among
their 95,000 members in order to
make gains.
The Lamar TFA chapter and
TSEA chapter will take their places
this year on the candidate endorse-
ment team and begin the process
which will bear fruit in the 72nd
Legislature, over a year from now,
he said.
TFA and TSEA members wishing
to participate in the TSTA-PAC
should contact William White for
forms and information.
