did nymed provide the intership? im looking for a school that provides an internship for ekg and phlebotomy.

I would suggest you go throught the American Heart Association(google it and you search by zip code) to renew your CPR b/c it's good for two years. The red cross is only good for one year and more money.

They should have not served red or white wine to the staff before work. I honstly do not believed she had the right to chasitised you about it. Yes maybe you shouldn't have drank it but that was unprofessional on your facilities behalf to serve alcohol.

That is a horrible thing to say to anyone.

yes they do. you have to keep looking. check this site they are hiring for lpn. click on this click here to see hhc employment opportunities.

I would say it's up to you if you want advance in nursing. Yes an assiciate degree is enough for you but if you want to specialize in a field of nursing such as surgery you need to advance. I would say go to CC and 4 year schools show your degree as well as a transcript and see where you need to begin. There are some schools such as SUNY Downstate that has an accelerated B.S nursing program (15 months about) where if you have a B.S or B.A in another field and you taken a certain amount of pre-nursing courses then you would have a Bachelor's in nursing.

Im taking a corse now. It won't be hard since yours meets once a week, more time to study. What you really have to study for are skills. Learn as much as you can when you do clinicals. Once you fail the state exam you have to pay again to take over what you failed. you get 3 chances. Good luck

How long have you been a PCA? Do they only hire people with experience and/or new graduates?

you could also search cna training in colorado on this site and get some reveiws.

If you have a F you can take it over at the same school and try to get an A.

manhattan institute .www.manhattaninstitute.com (located in manhattan but it may help)new york medical career trainingwww.nymedtraining.com (cheapest) , and a few community colleges like york, laguardia cc (on their website go to continuing education). these run about $700 to $1000. maybe pricey but keep looking online for something inexpensive. look at a few assisted living facilities that do free or low cost training. i myself am looking for training still that i feel comfortable with. these programs are about 4 weeks btwn 9 a.m and 5p.m or evening classes as well. two weeks seem too short. oh yeah look around on here for reviews on these places. good luck

i just called to today to get an application. no it's not too late. call asap. the women said they give test until september. the program stats in september, don't know how that's possible anywhoo. www.wsboces.org

i am 21 years old. i felt the same way. even though i am pretty young, i wish i started earlier. i have a friend who is an RN and she is only 20! that's because she went to a nursing HS and became an LPN. i am finishing my pre-req's in Jan 08'. But be glad you are doing it now because you have more knowledge about nursing and what field you want to get into so you go right through with no regrets. Nursing takes time and commitment. I applaude those who are older and decided to get into nursing. Keep going!

it's never too late
