(Sigh.) sore spot.
He's 16 months into the accelerated 18 month program, and I just found out the school is Federally accredited for nursing, but only State accredited for their other healthcare programs (not nursing, which they just started doing because of increased demand in the pandemic.)
So...apparently hospitals don't want these particular students to do their clinicals there.
They are "working on getting State accredited." I don't know what that means.
From what I understand, he will still be able to sit for the State test, so I'm not sure what to make of it. A good friend of mine is a surgeon in Miami, and he said they'll hire anybody right now and not to worry about it, so I'm not worrying about it. I really don't want him working in a hospital, anyway, under current circumstances. A small, lower traffic office somewhere is what I'm hoping he ends up getting. He thinks he's traveling all over the place to make extra money. I said you have to know what you're doing first!
