Become a Nurse without Nursing School

Published

Anyone know of any opportunities abroad to become a nurse thru apprenticeship rather than thru traditional education?

(I'm fed up with looking for accelerated programs, having to meet bogus requirements, etc. I'd rather just do on-the-job training for 3/4 the pay in some other country. Anyone know of anything like this?)

Well balls.

Kudos to you! (But, now, did you really have to spend all that time in school to be able to save his life?)

ixchel went to school for 4 years--majored in party 😉. The nursing courses were all bogus.

(Just kidding ixchel. Great job!)

I'm currently attending the AllNurses School of Procrastination.

It's too crazy around here lately.

OP -

Travel back in time and if you worked as a 'practical nurse'in WWI and after( ie, trained on the job), when the actual licensure became more common in the late 1940's, you could be grandfathered in and get an LPN lic. without formal schooling. My Nana did it.

OK, back to the derailment....

This WAS fun, wasn't it?? I'm beginning to enjoy being a COB.

Alas, I think our witty bon mots have fallen on deaf ears; OP appears to have vanished into the ether. Too bad.
