I work in the public school system. The last 2 years we had a Nurse Aide program but the instructor went to a new school district. We had tried to find a new instructor with absolutely no interest. I was asked to step-up and take over. Unfortunately the geriatric requirement prevented me from being approved. I have been a nurse for almost 11 years. I have geriatric experience as an LPN but since I obtained my RN my experience is pediatrics. We desperately need more people in the medical field and I would be honored to assist in that. I fully support the changes requested so more programs can open up.
