I've heard a few rumors floating around that cincinnatti's program has allegedly been put on probation for safe practice issues.... Has anyone heard anything about this????

I attend the University of Cincinnati and I am pretty sure we would have been told of we were put on probation for safe practice issues. I am curious as to where you heard this rumor and what the supposed safe practice issue was. I feel that our clinical training is excellent and I just can't think of anything that would be considered unsafe! Can you provide more information please?

I'm not trying to be hostile or anything I was just curious because that's one school that I would be interested in attending when I get to that point. The people that I heard it from were professors from another schools nursing program.......I don't want to say which one because I don't want to start trouble. I just heard the rumor and wanted to validate it's truthfullness for myself. Thank you for clarifying that.

I didn't think you were trying to be hostile I was just wondering where you heard that rumor. I haven't heard anything about it and like I said, I can't imagine it being true. If I do hear anything, I will let you know. If I see our program director this week, I will ask her.

That would be great, thank you.

I e-mailed our program director today and she said there is absolutely no truth to this rumor. We are on a 10-year accreditation visitation schedule, which is the longest it can be and we do not have "safe practice issues." She told me that I can feel free to give you her e-mail address so you can address questions to her directly. Let me know and I will PM it to you if you would like. She is vice-president of the AANA and will be running for president e-elect this year and she is really great so if you have questions, don't hesitate to e-mail her. Anyway, we are not nor will we be on probation and whoever told you that is just spreading rumors. I would really like to know where you go to school but I understand if you don't want to tell me. Let me know if you have any questions.

It won't be necessary to contact her directly about it... I'm not that ate up over it I just wanted to know if the rumors I heard held any validity. They obviously do not. The only reason I wanted to know was because I am interested in going to school to be a crna there in the future. Thanks for the response and tell your director I will tell the person I heard it from that they are wrong. I wouldn't mind having that e-mail address though for purposes of building a network and making sure I get the necessary requirements to be successful in applying there.

Thank you,
