In Florida, can a CNA draw blood? I do not see it under the Florida Nurse Practice act. I have heard that CNAs can be trained to do so without a phlebotomy cert. Can you clarify? Also, outside of the CNA scope in the nurse practice act, it says (and...

I am going to be taking the exam soon, wanted to do it a year ago and then my plans were put on hold. I want to go into home health. Right away. I do not want LTC or hosp. Do you think I can find something in home health with no experience? I have 15...

PHCC itself told me. They told me they no longer put people on a list, they have to reapply each year and admission is based on the NET. However, there are still people that have been on the waiting list that have been on it for a few years. So, even...

Hi, I am in NPR too. The Keiser you are referring to was previously Higher Level Vocational that went out of business. I too called them Monday and have not gotten a call back yet. THey said they are still getting things together and it may take a fe...

Thanks for your !! I am leaning NA for sure... Please keep the opinions coming! Thanks so much for your help!:loveya:

Hi there! Actually, Penn Foster is approved with AMT that after a clinical work extern of 200 hours (through the training program), you can sit for it. It is in their literature and on their (penns) website. I also called AMT to verify. But yes, I wa...

I too called them to find out info, and the girl on the phone was rude and told me nothing except how to get there for an interview with a counselor. I explained I needed to know cost first before I came down there and a little more info to see if it...

I am changing careers to nursing! I have done pediatric dental hygiene since I was 20, so it is really all I know! LOL!! I have decided to persue the nurse route and im in the process of studying for the NET. I just got back from the library actually...

Where in Florida are you? I am considering HH too and I am in Tampa Bay. Just curious. :heartbeat:D

Hi there. I am new to this and posted this question previously in the wrong area, so here I go again!!!! Is it possible that a brand new LPN can go straight into home health without working in a hosp, LTF, etc? I have looked at employment ads for se...

Hi there. I am wondering have any of you gotten a job in home health straight out of LPN school? Are you required to have experience? Looking on some job posts, some say 1 year and some say n/a so I am not sure of the majority. I am in Florida. Also,...
