nurseCE4less.com has all the courses I've ever needed. one price for a year of courses, unlimited. hard to beat.

What is so hard to understand? Nurses are supposed to care for people. PERIOD. If your religion keeps you from caring for people, if your religion makes you hesitate before helping someone, ya know, until you can look into his or her personal life...what? that sounds so wrong to most people, and you know why? because it is.

exactly. AMEN. As usual, religious people misunderstand religious freedom to mean that they can subject others to THEIR beliefs. If you can't be true to your religion, and also take care of ALL people , no matter their private life, then you are FREE not to be a nurse. Nurses should take care of ALL people. period. First, DO NO HARM.

Yes, I think the Police are already doing that. this is a bad law. period.

This place seems to be the best I've found for botox and filer training in the US: https://aestheticmedicaltraining.com/ it's $1,650, for a one day class, and you can get a video package to go along with it for $100. They have them all over the country. •I would stay away from Empire Medical, very bad reviews and complaints on BBB, seems like it's some kind of scam. A very impressive one is Dr Martin's training Center in Barrie, Ontario (basically Toronto), but it is $4,500, yikes!, but it seems very comprehensive with hours of didactic to do before you get there, and then 2 dasy of in-person training with lots of hands-on injecting on both days. The thing is that if you don't start doing it right after the training, they say you will forget it, so I hate to take it and then hope I get a job or I've wasted the money. Being an NP is so very weird, lol. There should be mentoring programs for all new grads, and for anyone that wants to transition to a new field. It's really just luck of the draw if you get training somewhere.

hi, I'm thinking of taking a botox and filer class as well. What class did you take? how was it? thanks. I'm looking at one by the AMET, it's $1650 for a one day class. Also, Dr Martin's is 2 days and lots of didactic video, in Barrie, Canada, near Toronto, land looks very comprehensive, but it's $4500 - yikes!

Anne marie, Hello! I am an FNP, and have been doing a specialty for 5 years, but now wanting to get into Aesthetics, and thinking about taking a course in botox and fillers. it seems every job wants 1 year experience with injectables. Did the job you found not require that? or did they accept the training/certification as experience? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the money for an expensive $1700 1 day class, or if I still won't be able to get hired. It's so maddening when no place will train you! thanks for your help.

I am looking into Aesthetic courses, and empire seems to have many bad reviews if you look at the better business bureau- BBB. they seem like a bit of a scam to me.

it looks like a great course, lots of hands on. much better than others I've seen. it is pretty pricey, though. Did you take this in hopes of getting a job in aesthetics, or did you already have one? I would like to change my career path, and would love to get this training, but every job for aesthetics I've seen advertised says they want you to be experienced for at least one year. I'm not sure if having training would matter, even if it is very good training. Ah, the catch 22 of being an NP - there is almost no way to get experience or on the job mentoring. or certainly it is rare.

Hi, it was with a start up neuropathy clinic (see above post for more info) but ended up closing because of a problem getting medicare reimbursements for our procedure. Too bad too,because it really worked very well for people. I've been with another start up Co now for the last 10 mos, but still not sure it will take off, but that's the way it goes with new Co's. I love it though and am learning a lot about the clinical and management aspects of running a healthcare business. If it works out then I will be thrilled, because I have been able to have one on one time with several physicians, and feel very confident in my abilities. That is a key factor for me to be happy in a job. It's Hard to find mentors, so if you have one, learn all you can, and appreciate it!

Oh Yes I will definitely give them a call when they are back on Friday. Im trying to get a bunch done while I'm off for a few days. i t will be nice to be free for another 5 years soon!

Thank you Juan, that's good news! I was going to count 4 pharmacology credits for each 12 hour class, since that's all I need, but do you know if there is a standard for determining pharmacology credit? Thanks again!

Hi I am renewing my certification for FNP with ANCC soon and am trying to find out if I can count my ACLS and PALS courses. It isnt clear on the website. These were my initial courses. They were certainly more involved and more difficult than any CE courses I have done, so I would think they would. Thanks, and Happy New Year!

On the GRE I got 90th percentile in verbal and 50th in math, thats all I remember, sorry dont remember a number, but I got in. Also agree with last poster, very expensive., and they don't use the money to get good preceptors, that is for sure, I think every school just scrambles to get anyone who agrees to precept a student. On the other hand, there are good sides too, and the name carries a of prestige and has definitely helped me get interviews and jobs.

Hi, I have been looking into Palliative Care as well and there are some people/MD's I've talked with that say your personality and desire to work in this field are the most important things, but then they also say it is necessary to have a very good understanding of pain management/narcotics before you can do the job. In other words, you can't just take the job without formal training. I'm curious what they told you was needed as far as your skills and if they said they were going to give you real training. thanks
