Do any of you have experience with the graduates of these programs? Just wondering about the quality of the education and training that they receive. It looks like it is mostly a self study course without hospital based clinicals. The program brings in RN's to do practical check-offs. The thought process is that the clinicals that the medics did in order to get their paramedic and the constant training and pt. contact that they have allows for them to not have to do hospital clinicals.
I'm a newbie to the board and a first time poster. Have been an RN for 18 years and love every day of it still (well, almost every day!!) This is a great board and a wealth of information for us oldies and new nurses.
