wednesday

Hi there! I haven’t seen a thread for this upcoming Spring 2020 (that includes UIW) so I decided to create one! has anyone heard anything?? aside from receiving an email to be fingerprinted from UIW, I haven’t heard anything else. has anybody heard...

lol well either way you’re good!

search “aha heartsaver first aid” or just click the link: https://ahainstructornetwork.americanheart.org/AHAECC/classConnector.jsp?pid=ahaecc.classconnector.home&courseid=1-6AA6JK&language=1001&_ga=2.152140537.1173791445.15686...

@aric91so neither AHA nor ARC specify pediatrics because the course is adult/child/peds. so if it’s specific, it’s the wrong one. the one for health care professionals is what you need. that’s strange that you couldn’t find a simple first aid course....

@DBRO31 girrrrl tell me about it! I’m working nonstop until school starts too. it’s so draining ? and no need to apologize! I just wasn’t sure if I was making sense lol I’ve been up way too long! @aric91 I’m ready for that red scrub top! eeeeeepp ???

so you took the health care professional cpr course and signed up for adult cpr/first aid? if that’s the case, you will have completed certification ? and some lol

well yeah they are two different courses; one is offered through AHA and the other through ARC. but they’re equivalent in the type of certification we need. it has to be the CPR for health care regardless of the company we choose. and then your first...

BLS and CPR can be used interchangeably ( AHA calls it BLS and ARC calls it BLS/CPR for the one we need). it’s just the health care part that matters. but if you took the health professional one already, then the one you signed up for should suffice ...

by negative you mean not immune?

I really don’t think that’s the correct course. we need the one for health care professionals. unless you already spoke to eunice or a faculty member in the school of nursing and they confirmed it was correct. because if that’s the case then ignore m...

I did both my BLS and first aid in person through two different centers (to get the lowest price). I got my certifications from american heart association. I know AHA offers BLS w/first aid (depending on the training center you choose). I’m not too s...

@aric91 as long as it’s labeled for professional rescuers or health care providers. Idk if they offer that with first aid. well actually... they might

per Eunice, we will receive information about the insurance at orientation. so even though our letter reads to have everything done prior to december, that’s the only thing we can have missing

my own insurance doesn’t cover it and I work in the veterinary field. granted cats and dogs are different species from us, but I work with needles every day I don’t think all insurances offer it. I hope the school does because it’s probably cheaper ...

I called and no answer ? I read that we need blood borne pathogen coverage/needle stick insurance. I’m probably jumping the gun here, but I just want to get everything done lol ? I wonder if this is an insurance we buy through UIW

I haven’t gotten a response either ? but I call her too much lol and I’ve paid everything as well

and the TB test has to be read within 48-72 hours post injection. so it’s less than a three day process for that

girl! $92 is too much! I only paid $50 and I’m in california. go to AHA and look up locations near you and research prices. but yes that’s the one you need!

@Ifranco2 is the cpr class BLS for health professionals?? because I almost took a regular cpr class and UIW wants a specific one

I hope I’m not the oldest lol I just turned 29 last month ??? I got mine through american heart association!

there’s that sentence about titers and vaccines and the TB that is underlined stating it must have been done by July 1st. I didn’t get results back till July 5/6th... I’m immune and had everything else done but should I worry ?

it says once you confirm attendance they’ll give more details

you guys!!!! we’re going to be best friends!!!! I GOT IN TOO!!!!! ???

don’t be sorry! we all appreciate updates!

I just want to call Eunice again and ask her to reveal my status. She’s practically my friend now
