I'm registered to start taking a STNA (Ohio) course in Feb. Aftwards I would like to take Phlebotomy classes and Multi-skilled Health Care Certificate classes. I'm hoping that this will give me an advange to getting a job in a Hopsital or Dr.'s office rather that a Long Term Care Facility. Am I wrong in thinking this? I also have medical coding experience. Someone also told me (a nurse) that if I took these courses and worked a year in a hospital that I could to the state test to be a LPN. It sounds a little fishy to me, but I thought I would ask while I'm here :) Thanks for your help...sorry for the silly questions. Warmly, Andi :redpinkhe
