I feel that 1 year of experience for an RN is sufficient. I work closely with RN's in the Medicaid system and feel that asking for 2 years clinical experience is excessive. I feel that the supervisory visits, signing off on timesheets, and submissions to Kepro can be done with 1 year of experience.

I also feel that asking field employees to PHYSICALLY attend inservices is ridiculous. Committing to 12 extra trips to inservice sites is excessive.  I feel like the current paper inservices are more valuable than people think. I have had first hand experience with these and feel that our nurse aides are getting the extra education that they need and it is sufficient.
