New to Board and Deaconess

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

Hi everyone - I'm new here, but have read alot of messages on Deaconess. I originally heard about the program from my sister, who graduated from there years ago, but I certainly have gained alot of information from everyone here. Anyway, I just received my acceptance letter to start in May. I have some questions on support classes, etc that I would love to ask of current students. Has anyone taken the nutrition at another school? Also, I'm thinking about starting chemistry at ccconline March 1, but have a question about which class to actually take. I would also love to hear how exactly the clinicals work for those who have already started their clinicals.

I'm looking forward to getting the ball rolling!:)

The school is not for sale. While the school is in the same location as Forest Park Hospital, the school is not a part of Forest Park Hospital.

Actually, I believe we are all talking about the same Healthcare company...TENET HEALTHCARE.

They are selling several hospitals...many of them have already been purchased by HMA of Naples FL. You can read more about it here...

I am not worried though, my mother-in-law has worked at the corporate level with many healthcare corporations for over 17 years and this is just how the healthcare system works, they buy, they sell, things change.

Yup, that is how they make the big bucks.

The hospital I work for was owned by TENET (no such thing as Tenent) and was purchased by HMA. Forest Park Hospital is being sold.
