I was reading how the board changed the requirements for nurse techs to enrolled in a nursing program. I wonder how they define that? I’m wondering if any place will hire you as a newly enrolled student when the requirements before were completing fundamentals I believe. I noticed some still want a year experience which I think might have been the old requirements. 0 Likes
JustNCase1006 Jul 2, 2020 From what I have seen, most employers for Nurse Techs, ER techs, etc. is still the first clinical semester completed. I have not myself seen any where enrollment in a program is a qualifying factor. Please let me know if you see any! 0 Likes

Please let me know if you see any!As long as the declared health emergency is in effect, a nursing student currently enrolled in a Boardapproved RN or LPN nursing education program may be employed consistent with the Board's Employment of Nursing Students or Non-Licensed Graduates Guidelineshttps://nursing.OK.gov/Emergruleguidance.pdfJust wondered if any employers were using the emergency rules, but it doesn't look like it from what I've seen on job postings. 1 Likes

Thanks for the info!I haven't called the board and asked what their definition of enrolled was, but if I've paid my deposit I suppose that is enrolled, but maybe you have to show up the first day. I don't know. 0 Likes
