I am so glad my son chose to do online college throughout covid, not because of covid but because of the ridiculous shut downs, masks, mandates, etc. He has friends who have ended up doing a lot of their school online, in their dorm rooms.

Our grand daughter left California to escape the idiocy that was required to be an RN and basically creating a 7 year program which could be done in 4 years.

She was accepted at a very good east coast RN school and received a nice yearly scholarship stipend.

A lot of her first 1 1/2 years (before Covid) and a lot of were live at and on line off site. It was a very good combo program. My wife and a SIL are retired RNs, and they were impressed.

Then, Covid hit and the college went big time into on line. A good mentor RN lined our GD up with an excellent hospital and she went to work in its ICU and Covid ICU units as a tech. This time the retired RN’s in our family were even more impressed. She worked 3 shifts a week and still completed her excellent RN program.

The ICU doctors, experienced RNs, and techs adopted her and she learned reality from them, as well as a few classes and a couple of online courses.

The funniest thing was her reaction to her first paycheck, that hospital enrolled her into their 401K and matched her $’s. She asked us what that was for. We explained to her about 401k’s, and I said that was probably that hospital’s signaling, that she had a job later on after her graduation.

When she officially became an RN, they doubled her salary.
She still works in the Covid ICU and a day/week in the ER.

So, she had a very good and varied 4 year RN program.
