Anyone thinking about similar programs? In Oregon, priority areas are frontier counties. The program sounds really good, but how will that affect me getting into the specialty area I've got my heart set on (labor & delivery)? It doesn't sound like there would be too many hospital opportunities (if any at all) in the frontier counties. As graduation gets closer, I'm getting increasingly overwhelmed at what I should do. I really want to try for a new grad position in L&D even if that means relocating to another state. But then again, it sure would be nice to cut down my loan debt to start my career off.
...I can understand where you are coming from, but it is insulting to me to infer that I would make the people feel like scum. That's not me at all. I'm sorry that is how some nurses have treated the situation...

Hi,
Nowhere in my post did I attempt to 'infer' that you personally would make people feel like scum.
However if that is how you read it, I apologize for my lack of verbosity in typing.
Yes, my opinions regarding respecting people of another culture are very strong indeed. If it read as if I am against working with patients in a setting that you won't, (or another nurse won't,) be content nor able to give good care then, I do re-state for them, don't do Tribal people any favors by gracing them with an uninterested or uncaring presense.
However rough that reads, my intent isn't meant to insult those who ARE caring.
---So if that ISN'T you, then don't take it that way. :)
I wish you the best of luck in whichever program you enter.
