CCRI SNAP Program

Well to be perfectly honest Lauren I haven't tried to persuade them to go to RIC because the wait time for getting into RICs program is becoming just a little too long. I would love them to go to RIC but many of them have families and other commitments that make it too much of a strain on them financially and otherwise to have them wait until RIC can accept them (or URI or CCRI for that matter.) The SNAP program is the opportunity for those individuals to be able to take prereq classes and then go into the program without having to wait. If they wish to eventually earn their Bachelor's or Master's degrees RI Hospital actually has professors hired from certain colleges to come teach classes at the hospitals so nurses can advance their education. Its pretty cool actually. But anyways I was trying to figure out if they still had SNAP going for that very reason.

I am going to speak to one of the nursing educators at RI Hospital and find out what they offer for their employees, one of my coworkers said that they were pretty sure SNAP isn't offered anymore but that they have a program similar to it for RIH employees but I'm not exactly sure yet. I will post when I find out.
