   amlaboy replied to MansTX's topic in Texas

   I took the course at Dunbar. It's a very good course and the instructors are both very nice and helpful. However, I have been certified since November, 2006 and am still unemployed. Go figure.

   There was nothing hard at all about the class. If you have a basic medical background, it'll be even easier. There were some days that I actually thought it was a little too slow paced. There are 3 clinical dates towards the end of the class. My ...
