The article was pointing out that during the Maternal/Pediatric semester that the Everest Nursing Program information packet stated that each student would receive 120 clinical hours but that Mr. Weiri and all of his fellow students received significantly less clinical hours than what was promised and paid for. The article also revealed that of the hours received, approximately two days worth, were spent in an observatory capacity only. Mr Weiri watched an OR procedure where a wood splinter was removed from a patients knee.

hey john, silly is too mild a description, it's downright abusive. what's even worse is that when the educator for everest was questioned about this "clinical experience", she actually attempts to justify it. the unfortunate reality of what's going on here is that as long as no one becomes aware of what's taking place here, it will continue. in my opinion, everest's only focus is money, certainly not the quality of education, or trying to help our country's nursing shortage. the sad reality of a poor nursing education is that ultimately, it is the patients who pay the heaviest price. patients who are more often then not at the mercy of those providing care for them, since they are sick, scared and believe that their caregivers know how to care for them. what happens when they don't?
