Regardless of the known opinion of whether the school is right/wrong to throw these kids out vs. parents being wrong to cheat and send their kids to schools when they don't live there....I feel for the children. The children didn't make these decisions, the parents did, and it's all just very sad.

What about the mold all over the hospital?? It's not just in the OR..its in the rooms all over the place. It makes you wonder why people come in for one diagnosis and end up staying even longer b/c they have something else going wrong, or can't heal b/c of the infection. It's horrible there, believe me, I worked there. Even on the postpartum floor, they are putting medical patients w/ pneumonia and the flu on the same floor as the mothers and babies. That right there is horrible in itself. Exposing those innocent new lives w/ all the infection going around.
By the way, the wait time at other hospitals is just as bad. The hospital I work in now has patients that spend the night in the ER, b/c they need to be admitted, but can't b/c of lack of staff. The reason that there are empty rooms on the floors of these hospitals isn't b/c there aren't patients to fill them, but nurses can only legally take care of a certain number of patients. Even if you have empty rooms, if you don't have the staff to take care of them, then you can't admit them to the floor.
I will say that there are a handful of hard working compassionate nurses and staff left at NRMC, but there are also alot of very lazy ones as well. I understand that certain people have had bad experiences at the two hospitals in Natchez, but everyone is going to have a bad experience some where. Unfortunately we live in the real world where things aren't perfect. Sometimes you can't fault the whole basket of eggs for one being rotten.

Dang yankee:
nurses do specialize at some point, but when you first come out of school, you have the freedom to pick which specialty that you would like, then see what type of requirements they have. Some pediatric nurses were general med surg nurses for say a year or more before they were able to specialize. Sometimes the floor will hire you without any experience and will train you from there. It all just depends on where you go. Now in the case of Natchez Regional, they will, have, and especially now, hire unqualified people for even the critical care areas, which to me is scary. I don't think we are ready as new nurses coming out into the world to try and conquer critical care. Once a nurse has worked in one or more areas, yes, I believe them to have more than a sliver of education/experience!
I believe that my reading comprehension is just fine. I don't see how you as a yankee, can come down here and have all the time in the world to sit here and badger me about my life, educational background, and career, etc. What do you do? Not that I care, but come on, if your so educated enough to judge me, then what do you do? No disrespect here, but most jobs don't allow you enough time to post comments about nurses in a failing hospital. And if you do this in your free time, then boy, you have a life! Please, let the nurses alone in our search for a greater good. Don't try to question my education. You don't know me and rather, never will, so let it alone. You surely don't act like you suspect or sense anything. You type as you know exactly what you say....anyway. Yes, I will always have a job, but if I continue to stay at Natchez Regional and allow them to keep taking my pay, yes, I would have to take a government handout, b/c I would definitely quailfy for all benefits. We are paid pennies...so even now we should be on medicaid, welfare, TANF, or whatever they give.
And where, if you must suspect or sense that I got my degree....It would shock the pants off of you.....
Let's just hope that you won't ever need any health care, b/c when you sit here and talk about not having a good degree...we are the same people that take care of you, so you might want to think about what you say before you say it!

"Natchez Regional Medical Center’s CEO Jeffrey Wesselman and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Dan Bland recently presented a check for $10,000 to Natchez Trails consultant Sandy Middleton and Natchez City Engineer David Gardner to assist in reaching the required local match of $500,000. The hospital and the trails have also formed a partnership for HealthQuest, the fitness-focused incentive program designed by NRMC to promote physical fitness in Natchez and the surrounding area. Hospital officials joined the effort to fund the Trails in its early stages and are excited about the potential health benefits the development offers the community."
Look what Weezleman did with $10,000 of our money...pissed away!!!1

The Board and management of NRMC are to blame here. They should have gotten rid of Quorum a long time ago, and not waited until we were 25 million in debt. There seems to be a lot of head turning here.

dangyankee.........
I got news for you son.....my concern is ratcheted...I will not be on the streets b/c some peon doesn't want to pay their hospital bill...I will always have work wherever I go....Seems like you think you know more than you do....my knowledge is not shrinking...I can read....and I can grasp more than a tiny sliver...that's why I consider my career important...oh yeah, I guess that's "me me me"...but guess what...I will have a roof over my head, I will have food on my table, and I will have my kids in schools that are appropriate....and if it takes living off the government like most of the low life's in this town who have no desire to ever get ahead...then so be it!! I went to school to take care of people and make a living for my family, and your going to sit there and criticize me for being greedy and selfish, then I'm just greedy and selfish..so be it!!! I don't care...I have to take care of myself and know that my responsibilities are met before I can worry about anyone else.
Commuting nurse...guess what, you might have not had a lot taken out, but I DID....more than $100, which totals $2400/year....you can just sit there and appreciate being in your "new tax bracket", but I'm getting the heck out of dodge!! Have fun!
