Among the financial decisions
these couples need to discuss are:
What type of decision-making styles

May 9, the Board of Directors of
Concerned Nurses of West Virginia
held their annual meeting in Char-
leston. Chairman Twyla Wallace,
RN, said "contacts with nurses in
other states, as welt as West Vir-
ginia, reveal a complacency in the
profession because of a false notion
that the nursing shortage has
stopped the movement by organized
nursing to require a nursing degree
for all registered nurses and an as-
sociate degree for licensed practical
nurses." A letter was read from the
