Hi, I work as a sleep technologist/RN and my regional manager is also a RN/sleep technologist. I learned recently learned the person who trained myself and several others is not licensed in our state to function as a sleep tech, to provide OTJ and was specifically instructed by our regional manager to train at our location. Apparently, two former colleagues have banned together to report not only the Trainer but our manager too, for providing/facilitating OTJ by an unlicensed person. They are providing a series of documents, emails and videographic proof of him doing so. Also, there are email exchanges between staff, the trainer and our manager in which they specifically talk about him training at our site. I was asked to provide anything that validates this to further prove it, so I did. I found several training checklists with his name on it as well as video recorded sleep study's with him actually providing patient care. We've been updated that the state has now assigned the case to an investigator, as our state licensing board for sleep study believes this is considered gross negligence since it's several individuals and the hospital site involved in allowing the trainer to have access to the premises. This manager and the trainer happen to be very horrible people to work for. Is it likely the BON will intervene since my boss does still have a nurse license? I would like to initiate a formal complaint against him, and a few other former colleagues would like to provide statements as well. What usually does the BON do in cases of this nature?

This was the first semester. I have heard fellow students mildly complain of such issues, but all decided stay at the Atlana campus. I feel I am being charged far too much money to experience these ongoing problems. I hope that your journey is all that you would like for it to be :)

I am a student at Chamberlain College of Nursing Atlant, who transferred from Gwinnett Technical College. This is my first semester, and already, there have been SEVERAL--and I do mean several issues that Ive been faced with... From the terribly unprofessional instructors, the faulty online tests, ignoring of emails from faculty, and lack of scholarly structure! Chamberlain employees has proven themself to be incapable of functioning in a professional and effective manner, as a learning institution. This school had ignored my e-mails, regarding my lack of clinical compliance. I faxed my immunization doc and all other paperwork to the Clinical Compliance Coor., whom will NOT respond to email, unless you express indignity, and she waited two months to explain to me that I was not compliant. The straw that broke the camels back, was when they dropped me from my future session courses. I will be leaving this institution, and returning to GTC. Those who wish to attend Chamberlain, please understand that the staff is GHETTO, incompetent, and clearly unprofessional. Do not be wooed by the 'quickness' of the program; this institution is successfully the most evasive and inconsistent.

I'm 19 and I am waiting to be excepted into Chamberlain College of Nursing in Atlanta. Because I took the HESI Entrance Exam approx a month prior to the first session of Fall semester starting, me being enrolled has been delayed. My score was reasonable; I got a 90 overall, so I dont think it was my score, that may have posed as an issue for me, right? At this point, Im extremely nervous, because I still have a 4 courses left, that I gotta take, not including Fundamentals of Nursing and all other nursing-related courses, so altogether i have to take 11 courses. I've already taken A&P I and II, Micro, Physics, Chem, Stat, etc. Seeing how you can graduate within a minimum of two years and two or three semesters, how likely is it that I graduate by my 22nd birthday? If anybody who is or has attended Chamberlain College x Nursing in recent years, can explain their enrollment process and how one's courses may be scheduled, if they do not have that many courses left, to stretch over that minimum 2yr+ stint, I would greatlyyyyy appreciate that! Thank u,

I am a college student, and I will begin a CNA course as of next month, but I am very antsy. I do not have a problem with the job description; I am very comfortable tending to sickly individual, but I am leery of how long it will take for me to be hired. My mom's friend has been a CNA for roughly five years, and he gives me pointers every know and then. If I were to begin the 3-week course mid-September, and be finish by mid-October, on average, how long does it usually take for one to be placed as a CNA? What happens after I've completed the course, isn't there a certification, that I would have to take? Also, the place I am getting my CNA, is also a staffing agency. So, for those who have gone to CNA schools that also staff, how long would it take for me to be given a job, granted I am a skilled, and kind worker? Lastly, what are some really good pointers, as far as hiring, and looking for CNA jobs in general?
