No they only require you to have your LPN/Paramedic/RT License/certification, not work experience.

The program is designed for those with hands on experience though, since skills are not taught.

RT's are no longer accepted. Only currently licensed/certified paramedics, LPNs, or certain classifications of military corpsman

That's incorrect. They don't currently list RT on the website, but there are RTs in some of the Facebook groups who are just now getting accepted to the school. I am not sure why they have been removed from the list of professions, but it makes me think they will stop accepting them at some point.

It was removed about a year ago and when a colleague (AS in RT and nearly a decade of experience) inquired with both admissions and nursing advisors they were told they were ineligible without a medic, LPN or corpsman credentials. Perhaps the others started the process before the change? I just know what EC has posted online and what my RT colleague was told about a month ago.

Yet when you go through their admission requirements page, RT is not listed.

So I wonder which it is...

As of last month my RT colleague was told they were ineligible as an RT with an associates. The local nursing schools only offer bridge for certified, working paramedics and LPNs.

Someone in one of my Facebook groups is an RT who started in July. I posted there to ask about recent RT acceptance.
