Anyone doing the CEU's on CEUFAST.COM.......is the "OSHA: Occupational exposure to blood bounre pathogens" the correct CEU for HEP B??

You need to take:

INFECTION CONTROL AND BARRIER PRECAUTIONS

TUBERCULOSIS

AND

HEPATITIS C

TO EQUAL BCs TB/OSHA/Hepatitis

Don't take that OSHA: Occupational Exposure... one. That's the wrong one.

You'll also need to take the HIV/AIDS course somewhere else like online or in person as BC or another provider.

I got declined because I have too many credits. I qualify otherwise. I went to college twenty years ago and have enough credits to graduate, but because of the economy I returned to school for nursing. But, BC says I already have enough credits for a degree so they won't give me aid to pay for any more classes. I begged them. I have got nothing but A's since I returned to school. I told them I'm changing careers. I was a stockbroker and got laid off. I managed to scrounge it up for this first sememster, but I need to get one of those scholarships.

:( that really sux. I think this may be the case with me too. I KNOW I have too many credits. I went up there today and the lady just shook her head and said she didn't think I was going to get anything. I don't know what I'm going to do :(. Luckily, my friend gave me some of her old books, but what are books if you can't even pay for the class lol.

Why can't I take the 4 hr HIV/AIDS on Ceufast.com?? Why do I have to take that somewhere else? Its 4 hrs just like they ask for.

Looks like they just added that course! Sorry about that. That's great! I suppose you can take it then.:up: It was not there a month ago when I took it! Only the 1 hour class was and I ended up taking it at BC. I would run it by Twana or Chinara to make sure its the right one. If it is, they need to update their little certificate hand out sheet to show that it's available on this website.

Yeah, you know, I remember now Twana saying something about having to take HIV/AIDS somewhere else because they just had the 1 hr course, and then when I got home I saw it, so I thought maybe it was another course and I wrote down the wrong one. Anyway, its there, so I will email her and double check.

at north campus, the only purpose of registration is to pay for courses. they will move you where ever they see fit. they expect for you to be completely at their whim. clinicals for process 1 and 2 are generally tue and wed 6:30 to about 2. however, that's not guarenteed. it all depends on your class size and the available clinical facilities.you may end up on nights (2-11) or thurs or sat. if you're type a like me, not knowing and not having control will drive you crazy. however, if you just relax and roll with the punches, you'll have a greater chance of being successful and actually completing the program.

when i met with elizabeth kenealy waaay back on august of 08, she manually entered my best grade out of my chemistrys on my degree audit. she actually asked me which one i wanted to use. i had taken chem i and chem ii at another college and decided to take chem i since it had the better grade. maybe she can do this for your english classes.

i have a friend who went to the english department head and he entered her enc 1102 grade on her degree audit. health science admissions still used her enc 1101 grade for her admissions gpa. you may have a little wiggle room with chm though b/c i know they'll accept other chemistry courses.

when i submitted my application for the nursing program, i watched twana pull up my transcript and choose the courses she wanted to use for admissions. she then, calculated my gpa and wrote it at the top of my application.
