EKG/Phlebotomy Certification help. Where to get and how much?

[ZionsWrath]

I am in nursing school. Also enrolled in an EMT-b course right now. Have practical and State test for EMT in about 10 days from now. I was at a career fair at my school and found a hospital down the block (literally like 15 minute walk at most) hires nursing students who have EKG and phlebotomy skills. I have an interview for an EMT job the 24th and will be trying to get another interview next week. I plan to work and save money to take the EKG/Phlebotomy course in the summer and then see about getting a job at that hospital once I get it.

Only problem is I know of only 1 place to get the certification, which I will inquire about next week when I have some free time.

Can anyone recommend me places to get this and about how much it would cost?

I took the CNA course at the Manhattan Institute. I am finished with the classroom portion, and I'm about to start the clinicals in the nursing home next week. It was a great class. I'm hoping getting my CNA certification will help me be more marketable for a hospital position. I will try and volunteer in the meantime to gain experience until I get hired. Thank you for your advice. My goal is to get a position at Mount Sinai hospital. :-). Good luck in your endeavors!:)

i started pbison last year, once the interview is over, it usally takes a few weeks for the committee to meet and for you to hear back from them.

i really haven't heard of ppl being interviewed and then rejected.

they're one-on-one... basically know the in's and out's of your essay, the usual questions.. finanacial aid packages go out as soon as you receive your acceptance, theyre actually in the same package.

I just completed my CNA training at New York Institute of Medical Careers in Woodside. The course is under $600 and can be completed in a short period of time. I don't work for the school and I found the training to be pretty good and inexpensive compared to other schools in the area. They also offer an ekg/phlebotomy course as well. Good luck to everyone!

This is the least expensive school. My cousin went there.
