Melissa Scott, an LPN, recieved the local Frist Humanitarian Award for being an exceptional nurse. The awards are given to personable who are recognized for showing concern for their patients above and beyond the call of duty.
Scott has been working at Terre Haute Regional Hospital for over 30 years. SHe not only takes extra care for the patients but also volunteers her off time to the community.

Sorry I had to do it with the headline lol..
Holy crap what the heck is going on in Ohio? Miami-Jacobs Career College is on the cusp of losing their license to teach because its students weren’t passing the NCLEX. On top of that they seem to have been cooking the books some to.
You really need to make sure you check with the nursing board in your state when choosing a nursing school. If you don’t you might end up at a crap school like that. Most of the boards have pass rates listed for the individual schools so you can see what schools are doing well and which ones you need to avoid.

Interesting that robot babies are being used to teach new nursing students how to care for babies. They cry and perform all the other functions that you might imagine a baby does. Using technology like this is going to make it easier for the nurses to get some hands one with out killing anyone. In my day we just used orphans since they were cheap and no one complained.
