Chattanooga area

Published

So, anyone here from that area?

Specializes in IMCU.
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

Welcome to Chattanooga! This is a beautiful area. Don't count on a mild winter, maybe a shorter one though! It can get pretty cold here but fortunately doesn't last long. We clean out the supermarkets at the first hint of snow.

tina_72us, let me second Mahage's welcome! I've been in the area for 10 years & love the view of Signal Mountain from my house & the view of Lookout, Raccoon & Elder Mountains on my short commute in to work every morning!

I wish I could say the same. I missed the deadline by a week so I'm waiting to see if anyone turns it down.

I don't know anything about the program except what is on the website.

Good luck, hopefully we will be in class together!!!

congrats Dee78! I dont have 15 posts yet so I can't respond to your email, nice huh LOL. We should try and meet up at orientation, that would be sweet! I'm ready for it, I think anyway! It's going to be a ton of work since I'm one of those who will have to take my A&P classes...but where there's a will there's a way I suppose! Now I'm trying to get everything done around the house before Jan because I know I'm not going to have time for anything next year that's for sure!

do you, or anyone else know if they go during the summer semester?
