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.
