An Employer of Choice

Part of Tanner Health System’s mission includes establishing itself as the region’s healthcare provider of choice. However, Tanner already has made significant steps in cementing its reputation as an employer of choice in the metro Atlanta area, earning regional, state and national accolades from a number of industry-focused publication, including the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Modern Healthcare and Georgia Trend.

Tanner Health System Partners with WGTC for ADN Enrollment

Tanner Health System has launched a new program to provide enrollment opportunities for employees entering the ADN (Registered Nurse) program at West Georgia Technical College.

At a recent informational session, B.J. Brock, Assistant Director of Nursing at TMC/Carrollton, explained that nursing program competition has become so tight that this program was designed to give an "edge" to a few exemplary Tanner employees. The partnership involves 4 slots that will be held for Tanner employees. Those selected will have their nursing education provided for on a service-cancellable basis.

Brock indicated the expectations are high for those vying for acceptance. The standards for excellence required will include: management recommendations, leadership/training participation, above average attendance, positive attitude, strong work ethic and two years of employment with Tanner (though some exceptions may apply).

It is also anticipated that those same standards will be displayed in the scholarly efforts of the students selected.

It is possible that some students could be selected to begin classes as early as this Summer.

Employees can learn more by contacting any Director of Nursing or Nurse Educator within the health care system.
