Observe. Analyze. Interpret. Decide. Explain. These were the general directions given to Dartmouth Medical School students on a recent trip to Dartmouth’s Hood Museum of Art. The visit was part of a pilot program that promotes the power of observation in making diagnoses.
“I had heard of programs at other medical schools that used art interaction to aid in patient interaction,” said Joe O’Donnell, the senior advising dean at Dartmouth Medical School and a member of the DMS class of 1971. “I thought that we could duplicate that program here, and put our Dartmouth stamp on it.”
He connected with Stephen Plume, an artist and a DMS professor of surgery, and they reached out to the Hood’s Director, Brian Kennedy. Soon they began working with Vivian Ladd and Lesley Wellman, both in the education department at the museum, to develop a program that would cultivate the simple, yet often nuanced, ability to notice things, whether it be in a painting or in a patient. During the month of May, they implemented two pilot workshops at the museum that sparked some thoughtful comments from participants.
One student said, “I learned to be mindful when I am making assumptions, interpretations, or just observations. I also learned how different my perspective may be depending on my external knowledge or ignorance of a particular work of art.”
Wellman welcomed the opportunity to reach out to a community of students who might not otherwise walk across town to visit the Hood.
“This is a creative program to help the participants look and think critically, and also communicate effectively,” said Wellman. “Once they’ve carefully looked over a painting, the students have to report back to the group about what they saw. After a painting has been thoroughly described, the students discussed an interpretation, or diagnosis, of what it is about. It was a revealing exercise.”
“What a wonderful group,” Ladd said after working with the DMS students. “There is no way they are going to go on to become cold and distant doctors.”
DMS and the Hood will work to refine this program and offer it again to incoming students this fall. O’Donnell hopes it will soon become a permanent offering. - No. that I don’t know I sorry,
- Penn State
- WELL I KNOW MSU IN MICHIGAN HAS A VERY GOOD PROGRAM. MY DAUGHTER GOES THERE AND THAT’S WHAT SHE’S TAKING. GOOD LUCK IN SCHOOL.

- Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
I understand it completely. I’m a nursing student (LPN). In Oregon, it is crazy to get into any sort of nursing program. LPN is a little less competitive, but most people want that RN first and are willing to spend two years on a waiting list cooling their heels rather than becoming an LPN first and bridging up to RN.
It was still crazy to get into the LPN program. I had to take a test, write an essay on the spot, then right five more and submit them, have two letters of recommendation, and do an interview with the program director.
I think the biggest reason nursing is so competitive is because of the nursing shortage. In such a such @$$ economy, it is a relatively secure job.
Good luck. - Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
Actually, this is one career area where the place you obtained your RN from is not as important as the fact that you have the RN. And, it is a well known fact that community colleges and some of the Cal States turn out far better nurses (in terms of clinical hours experience) than the UCs where they are heavy on theory but not so much on clinical experience. I spent 3 days a week on the hospital floor in the CC; but my friend at the UC spent 1/2 to 1 day a week in clinicals. She actually had to take some outside nursing extension courses after she was done to get a bit more experience. Once you start staff nursing, almost no one will ask or care where you got that RN from–all they want is a competent nurse on the floor. FYI-CSULB has a really tremendous nursing program–your family does not understand the nursing career path. - Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
No!
Most recruiters ask if you have a license. - Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
Nursing is a regulated profession. Everyone who enters the profession must write the same exam to get a license.
Therefore everyone starts at the same level of competency as tested by the exam.
The school you go to does not matter – if they could not prepare nurses who pass the exam they would not be in business. - Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
Nope!
An RN is an RN and will be an RN. I’m a pre-nursing student at a CA community college and I got accepted to CSU, Bakersfield for their BSN program! With that said, I will be transfering to a CSU and am on my way to be an RN. In the field of nursing, it really doesn’t matter where you get your degree, as long as you are an RN. The nursing field has a shortage unlike other majors, and once you are an RN, you will be working side by side with other RN graduates from top tier universities such as Yale along with community college graduate RNs. If those people tell you to go to a top tier university for nursing, do not listen to them, because they do not know much about the nursing field. Nursing school should never cost you an arm and a leg, so you go to which ever school is the cheapest and convenient for you. Let those other people brag about their lives and their level of education, but one thing they will never understand is that experience teaches.
Good luck with your endeavors!

Hi —
In DC, TV advertisements have been promoting either Georgetown or George Washington (don’t recall which) as a nurses hospital. Any program where you could train there would be great. Also, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore has a great training program.
