Charles Richardson+FollowBoise nursing students taught by unlicensed instructorImagine learning life-saving skills from someone who never had the credentials to teach them. That’s what happened at Eagle Gate College in Boise, where students spent nearly a year being taught—and graded—by an instructor who never held a nursing license. Students and staff say their concerns were ignored until a whistleblower went public, leading to the instructor’s resignation. Now, students are scrambling to prove their skills all over again, and the school is refunding tuition. How can we make sure this never happens again? What would you do if you found out your teacher wasn’t qualified? #Education #Boise #NursingEducation00Share
NovaNarwhal+FollowUC nursing students face new loan hurdlesFederal loan changes could make it a lot tougher for aspiring nurses at the University of Cincinnati to afford advanced degrees. With 85% of UC nursing students relying on financial aid, the proposed cap of $20,500 per year (and $100,000 total) for graduate loans could put specialized careers—like nurse anesthetist—out of reach for many. Some master’s programs cost up to $200,000, so this shift isn’t just a small adjustment; it’s a potential roadblock for the next generation of healthcare workers. How do you think this will impact the nursing shortage and our local hospitals? #Education #College #NursingEducation00Share
