Dear Editor,
My daughter is a Fort Hays radiology tech student placed at Central Kansas Medical Center for her clinicals. 
We moved her in before Christmas and she was to be there for a year. 
When she went in for her first day, she learned, along with everyone else, what was happening at CKMC.
Her time at the hospital has been great and she has enjoyed the people she has had the opportunity to work with.
I am sadden by the fact because of the changes it became necessary for Fort Hays to reassign her to another hospital so that she can get the clinical experience she needs to succeed.
What makes it harder is that this hospital is three hours further from home. She will be fine at the new hospital, because it is the best move for her future.
She had signed a year lease and her landlord has told her he will not let her out of the lease. How is this college kid who is paying for her education, doesn’t get paid for her clinical experience, and has to pay rent at the new location supposed to do it?
So I am writing to ask people in Great Bend who rent; if you ever have someone in this situation please work with them.
To parents of college students; watch out with the leases, we truly entered into this with the full intention that she would be there a year.
Life happened to us. I am hoping other parents can learn at our expense.
Deb Taylor,
