I am currently a student at the Technology Center in Crossville, but I am from Chattanooga.... if all of the programs are ran the same I would RUN! I graduate this August. it has been the most unorganized mess of crap that I could ever imagine. They completely change the rules weekly... they have lost peoples papers and everything else. It is terrible.

most applicants have their ccrn with at least 2 years icu experience and are VERY smart and confident. i know 3 people that are in it/went through it. if you did not already know, no working for the time of the program

Ooltewah here.

Originally from Cleveland, been living in Hooterville nearly 12 years.

Worked at Bradley ER for 19 years, until they went private and SkyRidge bought them.

Worked prn at Erlanger ER and on the floors most of that time also.

Been working as an MDS/Care Plan Nurse for the last couple years.

Done my time in the trenches over 20 years, nice to sit behind a computer 4 days a week, and sit in Care Plans with families on Wednesdays.

Wife works at Erlanger, runs the Pulmonary lab and Childrens Respiratory/Pulmonary Dept's.

Younger than me, still has some ambition.

Poor girl.

Hi all! I just joined and was wondering if anyone knew of any decent LPN positions in the Chattanooga area? I have applied to all that I've found online (that's how I found this site), but if anyone knows of any others, that would be great! I have worked in ENT, Oncology, and Plastic Surgery...Always in a physicians office (where they don't want to pay you anything) and I am ready for a change and no more female Dr's to work for! :) Thanks!

Hello neighbors. Currently a Chattanoogan. Live on Missionary Ridge. Loose ends approaching and reconsidering the biz after a 14 year lapse. Did 14 years in ICU's, ER's in Atlanta and aroung N. GA. Last gig at Emory in SICU working with post-op liver transplants early to mid 90's. Expect I will need to do a refresher. Am open to suggestions and advice.

I'm new to Chattanooga, came from the Cleveland Ohio area this June! I am looking forward to a much milder winter!!! I have recently started at Memorial North Park and I am impressed with the hospital and the nurses I have encountered there, it is refreshing to have a lighter patient load (was not uncommon to have 8 or 9 pts on nights up north). I am a med surg nurse of five years, graduated in 2004 from KSUA (Kent State)

I am LOVING Chatt....what a pretty city this is, I am in awe every time I look up at Signal Mountain...ok I know its not the Alps...there are bigger mountains, but wow is it pretty!! I'm glad we made the move! I call Red Bank home now.

Thanks from one warm
