July 10, 2018 – Gila Regional Medical Center (GRMC), a 68-bed acute care hospital serving Grant County in southwest New Mexico, has begun a Nursing Internship Residency program, called GRMC RNternship.
Developed to help new graduate RNs adjust from the academic world to the real world of working as a registered nurse in an acute care setting, the year-long internship begins with an intensive 2-week classroom setting and on-site immersion in clinical departments. The remainder of the year is spent at the bedside caring for patients under the mentorship of a Preceptor. Nursing interns are teamed with mentors who meet with them on a scheduled basis to evaluate their progress, give them encouragement and guide them through the difficult stages of the first year of nursing.
Silver City, NM, July 16, 2018—Due to the decreasing risk of fire danger, the Gila National Forest will lift all fire restrictions across the forest effectively immediately. In addition, Fire Danger has been modified down to Moderate from Very High.
Forest Supervisor Adam Mendonca extended a special thanks to all of our visitors for their compliance while restrictions were in effect. Visitors are always expected to use caution with campfires and other potential ignition sources. We urge our visitors to camp responsibly and be campfire safe. Never leave a campfire unattended and use proper precautions when having a campfire – including drowning it and stirring until it’s cold to the touch. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave.
Fire restrictions are implemented when necessary to protect human life, property, and natural resources. The Forest Service uses fire restrictions and area closure to prevent unwanted, human-caused fires and to limit the exposure of visitors during periods of potentially dangerous fire conditions.
