Regulations regarding ED’s: Pathway to licensure should be less restrictive. I would suggest 320 hours for someone with an associate or bachelors in health care. 480 for LPN’s. ( Due to financial training required) 640 hours for all others. I would suggest this be the pathway for an individual that has worked in the industry and has a pathway to licensure with experience, no college required.
RMA’s I would suggest to allow classroom via Zoom indefinitely and allow clinicals be done in an AL/MC with a nurse that checks the students off, not needing to be associated with a program. The nurse can submit a report to the instructor.
DCS should also be allowed via Zoom indefinitely and practical’s be signed of by a nurse on site.
