Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

DReinerMBA · Jun 23, 2011

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!! :yeah:See, it was easier than you thought. Cannot wait to meet you both on July 23rd. Your right, there is alot you need to do before August 12th. Exciting though! If you order your kit now, she will not be sending them out until after August 1st. Also, the book bundles (if you want the free ebooks) are not available until August as well, according to the lady in the bookstore. Some of the books they recommend are much cheaper if you order them via BN or other book vendors. However, for the bundle, I am going to stick with the college as I really want the free ebooks.

Have you scheduled your background and drug screen yet? LaRhonda, hope you can now RELAX and enjoy your Disneyworld Trip!

Thank you, all! It still hasn't totally sunk in. I was actually sleeping when they called (I'm on Graveyard shift this week), and I seriously had to step back and make sure I was actually awake...lol...cant wait for my packet!

I need to get my CPR card, should I go to red cross? The class at my school starts in the middle of my vacation so I cannot take that one. That sucks because it would be already paid for. Any recommendations will help:)

Caffeinated RN · Jun 24, 2011

I would actually recommend American Heart Association because many hospitals require that place due to their contracts, though nursing schools don't tend to be selective. Truly, though, they are the same classes being offered. When I took my EMT class, one of my classmates went through PulseCheckCPR and stated they gave students a discount, though I am not too sure of that based on the fact that she paid $40 (which is what you would expect from a CPR class that does not allow you to keep the supplies. My Red Cross class was $70, but I got to keep the adult and pediatric masks). Does LMC offer a summer CPR class, per chance?

Hi everyone! Congrats NBb2013!!! It's great to hear that you have also been accepted to the program. Regarding the CPR certificate, I was wondering if you guys can tell me if mine is valid or not. The course I took is "Adult CPR/AED" from the American Red Cross. It was issued on January 12, 2011 and is valid for 2 years. I tried calling the nursing department his morning but no one was available.

DReinerMBA · Jun 25, 2011

Hi everyone..... the CPR must be through the American Heart Association and be the CPR for "professional Rescuer". It says this info in the packet, somewhere. This is the Two year certification. It is actually a BCLS

Hope this helps.

Caffeinated RN · Jun 25, 2011

I had a feeling that we might have to get certified through AHA. Too bad EMT certifications cannot substitute CPR cards, given how much that is covered in EMT class. Thanks for the info!

want2banurse35 · Jun 25, 2011

I signed up for a BLS class with AHA in Berkeley. The cost is $70 and $15 for the manual.

Today I went to register for classes! I met two other nursing students that are anxious to start. I hate that the books will not be available until about 2 week before school starts. So fellow nursing classmates, what are you doing to pass the time until August 12 gets here? Any special books you are reading to be better prepared? As for me, I am reviewing my physiology notes and reading a pharmacology book. Tomorrow I will be enjoying the day with my BFF because it's my :hpbday:
