1. UMC vs. St. Dominic, Jackson Mississippi

   vanillavirtue replied to amandagayle's topic in Mississippi

   I've heard negatives about both UMC and St. Domonic. I have heard a surgeon say don't let the cross outside of St. Domonic fool you, there are some viscious people who work there. Also, I have a sister who works at UMC, and she said that there is a r...

   vanillavirtue replied to mseichelberger's topic in Mississippi

   How often is the admissions for this program? Is it fall, spring, and summer admissions? Also, is it an evening program? How long is the program?

3. Any new grads having a hard time finding a job??

   vanillavirtue replied to CocoChanel's topic in Mississippi

   Why is it that people are so sensitive and quick to offense now days? The statement that I wrote was to help the young individual that had a question about where to apply for nursing jobs. UMC and CMMC are both hospitals that have a lot of turn overs...

   "Da Freak" as you would like to call yourself, I'm not going to waste time with a rude reply as you have done, but I would like to say this. Those who are going through a trial and if they know God, they know in the word that they will overcome if th...

   vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

   i don't elicit negative responses wherever i go. i don't know if you were referring to me or just speaking in general. it is a known fact, in the field of healthcare especially in the hospital setting that there is a hierarchy. they are very big on t...

   vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

   Yes, you did miss that post. I didn't say that nurses were "looking" for respect. I said they shouldn't EXPECT to get ANY respect.

   your head is in the clouds. of course doctors, residents, and administrators are going to act like they like you in your face, (or treat you like you are on the same level) but behind your back is a total different story. :wink2:

   vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

   Well, congratulations on you actually finding a doctor/resident who actually has character. I have talked to guys who were in med school, and they were very cocky and arrogant! Which I found very surprising that they were so obnoxious before they eve...

   You sound like a navy recruiter! LOL Are you?

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I agree it is wrong that people judge people by how much they make or what they do for a living.

11. Any new grads having a hard time finding a job??

    vanillavirtue replied to CocoChanel's topic in Mississippi

    What you are doing (volunteering) is a great idea to get your foot in the door. Just keep talking to HR, and they might hire you because they see how persistent you are. Have you tried any hospitals in Jackson? I know the VA had a hiring freeze ab...

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    it is more of a hierarchy, at a hospital, than it is in other working environments. whether people choose to believe it or not, doctor's/residents/administration do "look down" on nurses. i have heard about snide comments doctors/residents have mad...

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I would be glad when people realize this. There are so many careers that pay good besides nursing. Teachers and nurses make the same amount of money when you do the math. Teachers only work 9 months out of the year and nurses work year round 12 hrs a...

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    oh, i know that your message wasn't directed specifically towards me, but i just wanted to clarify the things that i have said. yeah, the op's pot is really going to be stirred when he gets a fart in the face, on the nursing floor, like the other pos...

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    i have said this several times. i'm not judging the opener's reason for why he chose to do nursing just for money, the comments that i stated was to give him a realistic outlook of what nursing entails. if you have an honest outlook on what nurses ...
