    Are there any other places that you guys of heard of that we can take the CPR class. I am hoping that I could find one on a Saturday. Tough juggling 4 kids and this.
    The CPR card we need to end up with with Basic Life Support for Healthcare Professionals (BLS) from the American Heart Association. My wife and I did this course directly through the AHA. This way is typically a little more expensive, but is much more convenient. You take the classroom portion online at onlineaha.org, then you go do a quick skills check (30mins) through a licensed instructor. You end up with the same BLS card that is given to people who attend live classes in person. It cost me $22 for the course, then $20 for the skills check.

    that might be a alternative. I did find In Pulse CPR has a Saturday class 10/6 from 9-1 for $50 in tampa. It's double HCC but I have to balance my husbands work schedule and the kids I want to get it over with so one less thing to worry about.

    Hey, all

    My 38$ check is cashed, but 50$ one- not yet. Looked at scrubs and stethoscopes, Littman lightweight looks very cheap, despite of good reviews, I couldn't hear anything with it. Looks like a toy. Trying to review HESI test, big bore.... Anybody studying anything? Calculations maybe? Does anyone know how much titers cost? I wonder what is the reason they didn,t send us forms for physical and vaccinations?

    I was told that we will get the information at the orientation. I posted a couple of days ago what the prices were for the health dept. I am going to go the route with a new primary dr. and they do they vaccinations in the office and blood draws. I am hoping insurance pays for it all!

    Once I can get the physical, vaccinations and CPR out of the way, I will be starting to review the calculations. Math was never my strong suit and hoping a month or so of review will get me a head for our first test.

    My $38 check was just cashed. At least I know they got the forms now. I'm hoping that my experience in veterinary medicine (mostly critical care/OR) will help me with things like calculations, meds, etc. There are a lot of parallels between human and animal medicine. So I will be concentrating mostly on AP. I had a great instructor and kept all my powerpoints. I will start reviewing those again in November. As far as the HESI what is included in it?

    I wanted to let you guys know that TNC hospital has a class Saturday 10-6 from 10-12:30 pm. Its $40 and shorter than any other I have found. There is a limited number of people that can come so the class is completed in 2.5 hours. Let me know if you want to join me

    It is 42 credit hours at $100.93/credit, so roughly $4239.06. Plus books (roughly $600), uniforms and other supplies/misc fees.

    Wow..that's a lot less than what I was thinking. For some reason I was thinking between $10,000 - $12,000....I was way off!!
