ECCO Training

How long do health care providers usually give nurses time to finish training? It is very lengthy and a passing grade is an 80. I read somewhere that one facility gave nurses 3 months? Does the training have certain rules about how it is supposed to be done such as in a classroom setting, tests have to be performed with instructor present? Or, can a you do at your own pace at home? Can a hospital make up their own rules? Has anyone found it to be a struggle to get through and is 4 weeks enough time to complete it and be successful? Just looking for input.

    I completed The Essentials of Critical Care Orientation (ECCO) in a month (July 2015). It is not a difficult course at all; my nurse educator allowed us off one shift per week to complete the course, I believe there are 8 or 10 modules. You were expected to complete the ECCO course in about 8 to 10 weeks, I found ECCO to be boring and just sped through it as a lot of the content I already knew from nursing school or from working as a tech in ICU for 7 years.

    Thank you for your reply. So, did you take the other days of that week to go over all of your modules before you did each test?

    I did not, I usually did about 2 modules in a day, except some of the more time consuming ones such as hemodynamic monitoring and cardiovascular.

    I was more concerned with maximizing my time off to head to the beach and see friends as it was the summer.
