  1. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    Miwila posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm planning on taking A&P 1 next semester and I am wondering what makes it so difficult to pass? I already knew it was going to be challenging, but I've been thinking it was more along the lines...

  2. Online LPN course

    Miwila posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Forgive me if this question has been asked before but I was recently informed that it is nearly impossible to find an accredited online LPN program and I am in search of a second opinon on that....

  3. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

    Miwila posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Alot of people badmouth Everest, including me. I've been saying I would never pay 12-15k to enroll at a program with such a dubious reputation. I've also heard sometimes they don't teach you what you...

  4. Patient Care Tech Course at Everest

    Miwila posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know anything about the PCT course at Everest Institute? I already know Everest is a good tech school so I'm not too concerned about the thoroughness of their training, but I am curious...

  5. CNA program in S FL

    Miwila posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know of any thorough CNA programs in Dade or Broward County? And I mean something really good - not one of those deals where they rush you through without really teaching you anything...

  6. A question about being a black male CNA

    Miwila posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just read a blog by a black male CNA and it got me kind of jittery. I'm trying to find out if any of the experiences of other black male CNA's can verify what I read. Firstly, how difficult is it...

  7. How do you get a job as a CNA when you have no experience?

    Miwila replied to rgirl808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've never heard of LTC work being an impediment to gaining hospital employment. If a CNA in LTC finds he or she can't get hired at a hospital, then they ought to go to their community college and...

  8. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

    Miwila replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If it's any consolation, these abrasive teachers kind of sound like a lot of the nurses you'll have to work under. So maybe they're just trying to get you prepared for the "real

  9. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

    Miwila replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm always wary of private training centers. The teachers and teaching methods in some of these places are just shoddy and

  10. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

    Miwila replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can I ask what kind of institution you're taking this CNA class at? Is it a Community College, the Red Cross, or a private training

  11. Better to take an actual "PCT" class or just Phlebotomy??

    Miwila replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Either class is probably of equal value. As an above poster said, if you want to be a PCT in a hospital, take a PCT class, and if you want to make yourself marketable as an EKG tech or a Phlebotomist,...

    Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the youtube tip. I would never have thought of

  13. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly how much do you need to know chem to be sucessful in this course? My school doesn't require chem as a pre-req either but it is "highly recommended". If A&P is already challenging, I'm...

  14. What is so hard about A&P 1?

    Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I appreciate all this insight. I recently took a biology class and it was as if the harder I studied the worse I did on tests. I felt overwhelmed with foreign information. In retrospect, I figure I...

  15. Looking for my first CNA job

    Miwila replied to KB24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry to hear that. I've always been curious about what makes some R.N.'s "tick", what goes on in their heads that they treat aides like that. Aides are there to help; you would think nurses could be...

    Miwila replied to KB24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh dear. Disillusioned after 3 weeks

  17. Everest College

    Miwila replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Anything is believable when it comes to Everest. Once they get that government money for placing your body in one of their classes, they don't care if you learn or not. They don't care if you're...

  19. Everest College

    Miwila replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not so much for the worse. For too long for-profits have been charging extremely high tuition for substandard education. By the time students realize they've been scammed, it's too late. It's about...

  21. Does anybody know of any CNA/PCT/PCA training programs in south Florida ?

    Miwila replied to RN2BKD's topic in Florida Nursing

    Go to the Miami-dade college website - I believe tha's mdc.edu, look for continuing education, then look for something similiar to health careers or classes. A friend of mine was just looking day...

  22. Can any Patient Care Techs tell me how much your training cost?

    Miwila posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I have a friend who went down to a tech school inquiring about enrolling in their Patient tech Course. She was planning on paying out of pocket and estimated she would spend 1-2 thousand; it turns out...

  23. Male nursing assistant.

    Miwila replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think Eduardo means well; maybe he is just having a hard time expressing himself. Eduardo, technically speaking male CNA's and female CNA's do the exact same

  24. CNA JOBS IN FLORIDA

    Miwila replied to Colleen2014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow...that's scary. I would think Palm Beach County would be the easiest place in the state to find work as a CNA. The last time I went up to PB I saw nothing but retirees and retirement

  25. Evil Cna's

    Miwila replied to caringforyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Caring, unfortunately that is the way it is in LTC. Anyone with a pulse can get hired in some of these places - even people with no business taking care of the
