   Well. I've done a lot of science courses already for the RN program such as A&P, Microbiology, chem, and such and I was planning on applying for the program this coming spring...right now my GPA is 3.5. How much more school would a NP need to do ...

3. Do nurses learn how to read EKG's and do phlebotomy?

   TamTammers replied to TamTammers's topic in General Nursing

   Yea I put in my apps for Stafford Hospital, and INOVA, but I didnt see any openings for Prince William Hospital. I'll double check. which one would your hospital be more likely to hire, a EKG tech or phlebotomist with EMT cert?

   lol yea, thats why I want to do the phlebotomy tech program, but I think maybe the EKG tech would be nice to take as well.

   The way I had gotten my EMT was by volunteering with a rescue squad, but I left about a year later since there was a strong lack of training and most of the people there were pretty keen on making their "thirds" life much harder then need be. I do pl...

   TamTammers replied to TamTammers's topic in General Nursing

   Yea its a bit much...it's being offered through the community college nearby as a continuing education course. I might as well just keep trying to get a job as a tech with my EMT-B cert instead of spending all the money on the other certs.

   thanks, I'm still hoping to get a call back. I may do the EKG tech program...but I'm not sure if it will help me in landing a hospital job or not, just not sure if I want to spend $1200 on it. Perhaps if I was a NREMT I would get a call back lol

   TamTammers replied to TamTammers's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, I would in fact like to take both but I can only take one at the moment. I'm wondering which one I should take that the hospital would want more. Unless they would plan on hiring me just as a EMT and then training me.

    hwcats67, Hi, thank you for your post. Thats a good score on the TEAS, I'm very stressed out over getting ready to take it due to the short amount of time that I need to take it by. I went to NVCC's medical campus to get more info on the nursing pro...

    Hi everyone, I'm also interested in Stratford's BSN nursing program. I went there this past Tuesday and spoke to Dr. Khan, who was very nice and explained a bit about the program. I'm kind of worried that maybe employers would hire based upon where ...
