Nurse creates medical mission program
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
During a 34-year career in nursing, Mary McMahon has collected four professional degrees and worked as an administrator, teacher and volunteer.
So it should come as no surprise that while on her first medical mission trip with a group from Savannah Christian Church, McMahon looked around the Amazon jungle communities and saw nothing but patients she could help and problems she could fix.
“Your nursing skills kick in right away,” she said. “When you go to these villages, you know immediately what the issues are.”

With Doctors in Short Supply, Responsibilities for Nurses May Expand
Thursday, November 12, 2009
If the health care system is overhauled, patients and practitioners are likely to face a primary care bottleneck, experts say. An estimated 30 million newly insured people will begin making appointments for check-ups and other routine care with physicians who are already stretched thin caring for existing patients.
The increase in demand may well put an end to a simmering policy dispute over the circumscribed role of nurse practitioners in medical care. If tens of millions of new patients enter the health care system, it seems clear that nurse practitioners will be needed to perform many of the tasks now performed by physicians.

Athens Regional Medical Center is Hiring RNs
Friday, October 30, 2009
As one of the area’s largest and fastest growing health care institutions, Athens Regional Medical Center does not measure its success by the flourishing size of the hospital complex or the accumulations of state-of-the-art technology. Rather, people are the measure of Athens Regional’s success. People, such as a pediatric nurse reassuring a frightened child before surgery ... people, such as the chaplain comforting the family who has just learned of their loved one’s illness ... people, such as the social worker making aftercare arrangements for the elderly patient. The jobs and faces of these 2,000 employees vary. Yet their spirit and dedication to meet the daily demands the health care profession requires are extraordinary.
Athens Regional consistently provides award-winning healthcare services to the community by hiring qualified and dedicated individuals.
