Was mostly being facetious, but the first strike was them being UA grads.
Not sure if you read the description correctly, but this type of program is NOT common. It's the first of its kind in Arizona and it doesn't sound like most of the graduates are from pre-med programs. Most are graduates with bachelor degrees in other fields, and I quote: "MEPN is an accelerated nursing program
for students with a non-nursing baccalaureate degree who would like to become registered nurses...The first Phoenix graduates hold degrees that include veterinary science, education, anthropology, exercise science, law, philosophy, biology and anatomy."
I guess the grads with degrees in veterinary science, biology and anatomy would know more about the basics regarding the body and its processes. I'm a little "old fashioned" when it comes to the proper instruction of our medical professionals. But hey, sounds like an interesting program. If I get bored with the business world I guess I have another option now!
