One of the hospitals I worked at about 15 years ago tried that, it was a DISASTER.

Nurses Aide’s as they were called, were given a 2 month course and were delegated to doing many of the RNs jobs. Insert foley catheters, blood glucose monitoring, dressing changes etc. The infection rate SKYROCKETED.

It also had an LPN training program. Believe me old school LPN trained nurses are great nurses, this particular program was shoddy. Another disaster.
