Even there, changes are needed. For example, nursing programs..A long time ago in the old “Diploma” programs, nursing was properly taught. Then, academia took over and 90% of the program was book learning with only a day a week for practice in a clinical setting with a group under the auspices of one instructor. Now, that is fine if you are training a group of LPNs already familiar with the hospital setting, but with a group of novices, it is not even close to adequate training. I hear that now, nurses do go through an internship, much like doctors do, and that would be a great improvement, especially for patients who are under the care of new nurses. However, it is my view that apprenticeship is preferred over the methods which directly feed the greed of academia. I have two sisters who are nurses.
