FSIL grad teaching community health in Gressier, Haiti

We've received a report from Dr. Tim Bristol in Haiti, who talks about the community general health program being taught at FSIL nursing school. How rewarding to hear the progress of this program!

Fourth year students are taking part in a community health clinical in Gressier, Haiti, with assistance from Dr. Tim Bristol, visiting faculty at FSIL Nursing School in Leogane, Haiti.  
This particular clinic serves the community in general health and in cholera treatment and prevention. Their instructor, Ogenus Mirvline, is a 2009 graduate of FSIL. Over the course of the program, they have worked in many different clinical environments. These include rural hospitals, city hospitals, the yard of the nursing school (during the earthquake of 2010), the back of trucks and clinics. Their focus on community and public health is vital to Haiti's future. With a severe shortage of trained nurses and doctors in Haiti, their skills are going to prove very valuable nationwide. The other crucial aspect of this part of the BSN nursing program is that there is very little access to primary and preventative care. So healthcare needs to focus on community and public health.

After graduation in October of 2012, these students will be integrated throughout Haiiti's healthcare system. Currently FSIL alumni are serving in areas such as community health, acute care, surgery, and even nursing education. With over 90 students enrolled at any given time, this school is definitely a crucial part of Haiti's future.

  3. Focus is now becoming placed on Accelerated Nursing Programs who are at the "mid-level" provider level. Certain practice areas, such as Certified Rn Anesthetist (CRNA), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Licensed Nurse Practitioner (CNP),) and Doctor of Registered nurse Practitioner (DNP) all generate higher salaries compared to other specialty areas. These and other mid-level jobs are helping to complete the void developed by the reduced numbers of primary care physicians. "Women get behind here, because they generally aren't as aggressive and fall farther as well as farther behind using their salaries. You can't be shy about asking to be paid what you're worth," Ivey said. Together these lines, she stated, it's important to keep comprehensive documentation of your accomplishments.
