I work in a physicians office here in East Tennessee and hoping to get back into school SOON!! I was in nursing school a few years back and quit to stay home and raise my two children. They are now both in school with the last one just starting kinde...

There are good and bad in every profession. But do you think the reason so many docs are hiring MA's is the $$ thing? A RN at our local hospital said that the MA's are taking the place of LPN's in docs offices. Is this LEGAL?? Not to have a licensed ...

Hey Tracy, I will more than likely be going through Excelsior to finish my schooling. By the way, we are neighbors!! I live in Oakdale. I work in Harriman. :roll It is so nice to meet someone who is so close! Yeah, I did the stay at home mom thing t...

Not at our office, it is as cold as a morgue. Nope, no one can complain about it being too hot.

Can some people not bathe before coming to the Dr?? Being locked up in those **small** rooms with stinky butts and wings is almost too much to ask of a person!! Does anyone else have NON-Bathers?? LOL sassyr:imbar

As my uncle used to say,"Ignorance is bliss." When I worked in the hospital, I worked with a guy who was homosexual and it was no big deal to anyone. He was and is a terrific nurse and I would be proud to work along side of him anytime! Hang in there...

Sounds like a good idea to me!! sassyr

When working at the hospital we had a man one time who had a shampoo bottle up his butt. Said he slipped in the shower! Uh huh! sassyr

Well, here goes.... I began my medical career as a CNA at a local nursing home in 1985 when I was 19y.o I have since worked at a home health agency and the local hospital on the med/surg floor, while there I decided it was time to pursue my main int...

bubble, I work in a physicians office. But have worked in LTC, HH, and the hospital at one time or another. I think it is nice when families help each other out. My mother passed away 4mo. before my oldest was born and my dad passed away when she was...

You you probably know my mother in law then. She was a Bingham. They have done so much work to the school, it is really nice though. Both of my children go there, one in 3rd and one in kindergarten,(which is the reason I went back to work). LOL I am ...

Small world huh? I grew up in Harriman too!! Sorry to hear about your husband, hope he is doing better. Did you go to HHS? If so, what year did you graduate? sassyr

Some years ago, when I worked in the nursing home, I had a patient that her husband came everyday at lunch time and brought her a ham sandwich. Well, on this day like clock work he came but when he got to the nurses station, his daughter called and a...

Back in 1994, my mother was in the hospital. She had COPD, and the works. My aunt and I were sitting beside her bed and she kept asking me if I could see "her" and I ask who. She said Wayne, which is her sister that had died months before. She even s...

tennurse, Welcome to Tennessee!! How long have you been here?

LYNSWIM, we were neighbors!!! Had both of my children at MMC. They had some great nurses in L&D. How in the world did you end up in Johnson City? Yeah, the weather is great, getting better now that it is cooling off some.

I live pretty close to Crossville. I don't really know how the nursing job market is there though. But I know they have lots of physicians offices there and I would say that your chances are good. If I hear of anything I will let you know. Good Luck...

I live about thirty miles west of Knoxville. In a small town close to Harriman called Oakdale. I work in Harriman. I have two nephews in college at ETSU. It is nice to see someone else from East Tennessee!!

Do any of you know if Tennessee accepts Deaconess graduates? I am looking into these classes because they seem to be the only one who will let CNA's in. Want to do this BAD......but need to do it online. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. A...
