DHM Gave Assistance to Nursing Industry Shortage

In a meeting at Doctors Hospital of Manteca, the nursing shortage will be solved by putting additional classes of newly hired for the next four months. In the event at Friday afternoon during a special reception at Doctors Hospital's conference center by administrators Mark Lisa and Carmen Silva, ten recently registered nurses were welcomed. The nurses were all hired on a full-time basis. At present, they are entering the 18th week Versant Residency Program. Tenet Healthcare Corporation is currently offering to their 10 hospitals from Manteca to Florida. Two other based hospitals are located at San Ramon and Fountain Valley. The two new nurses came from Manteca. The first is Michael Dahle, a graduate of East Union High School and the second is Jamie Mauk. He graduated from Manteca High in 1995. As part of its strategy, Tenet is expanding the residency program offered by Versant Advantage, Inc. Their goal is to expand nurse retention and to progress the acclimation of its new registered nurse graduates. According to Garry Olney, the vice president of Patient Care Services at Tenet, the RN residence will provide a transition from student nurses to professional nurse by giving them the professional skills they need to increase their competency and confidence.
 
Michael Dahle moved back to Manteca from Las Vegas to work with Doctors. His hospital visits gave him good experience. Dahle preferred to be in nursing profession helping people rather than engaging in sales where you repeatedly try to sell something to other individuals that they really don’t want. Jamie Mauk already worked in emergency at Doctors when she was an extern student nurse for the last two years. And now as a registered nurse, she'll be going back into ER. Mauk got into nursing because of her dad’s serious illness five years ago.
 
Another graduate of West High, Adrienne Cathey, finished Delta College Nursing program. She also worked in ICU at Doctors for the last two years. She was an in-home care giver before until she became a certified nursing assistant. She started to work at a recovery hospital in Los Gatos.
 
She decided to care for people in a greater capacity. Melissa Maness also worked as an extern at Doctors while travelling to Delta to earn her RN degree. She was deployed at the OB department. She remembered one patient asking for a favor. The patient wants to take her hand to come with her into C-Section. That was a procedure she had experienced more than once and she realized that she was ready to give comfort to the new mother. [via]
