Anyone know of an online Medical Terminology class I could squeeze in by the end of December? Anywhere ok. Want to get it under my belt before A&P starts in January...Thanks...

Thanks acubed. I read the post you started about this very question. I like your idea to do both the quickie med term AND the quickie A&P class. Have you gotten any personal recomendations from people you know on either of the quickie classes? I ...

Anyone have experience with either of these programs? Did you hear/think they were better training than doing ADN directly through EC? Anyone have thoughts on whther Presby or Methodist would be a better education? Any info appreciated....

I was thinking of doing LVN for the same reasons as the thread starter. I know a guy who did this & immediately went to a nursing home doing weekend doubles & doing bridge program weekdays. If I were going LVN route, I would plan on getting a...

DNI does also.

I hated my first job as a CNA too. I had 14 pts, 7 of them bedbound & 4 others who spoke no English. I could not keep up & the other CNAs were not helpful & were merciless when it came to me being slow. Not sure I would ever have gotten f...

Need a little feedback on my "plan of attack" for nursing school... I have no hospital experience & tons of admin/clerical/customer support experience. My last career (financial services) dead-ended so I am doing my best to get an entry level hos...

I am applying to two hospitals for two jobs; 2 days at #1 & 3 days at #2.

Thanks for the good info. I appreciate it. I take my state test next week for CNA & then will apply. I want to work 2 24hr shifts at one hosp with tuition benes on day one (but not great hourly pay) & then 3 days (2 24hrs & 1 8hr) with be...

In Texas, go to: http://www.dads.state.tx.us/providers/NF/credentialing/NATCEP/index.html Then look on the provider list link on the left of screen. there is a free class in Ft Worth. Dunbar, takes 2.5 months. Best value I found was Nurse Aide Academ...

Hi all. Great thread. I am in the same boat as many of you. 50y/o, career #? (who's counting?) & start CNA school at a not too flashy joint in a not too spiffy part of town Monday. Only 3 weeks & flexible schedule to work in with my current s...

Wow. Kinda depressing.

Seems in Texas they are fairly similar, depending upon the terminology of the hospital.

My experience is that the jobs posted on the hopsital websites will disclose if they need a background check.

Orzonus- I am trying to get a transporter job too. Can you tell me what they pay? Thanks...

what are lmc & lcmc?

I am planning to do the El Centro ADN program & am looking for a job that will pay for school. I interview with Medical City tomorrow morning. What is your job at HCA? As far as I know, you can use the HCA money but apply directly to El Centro; i...

I am dealing with the same question. I suggest going directly to the hospital websites. As far as I know, Parkland (and all other UT Southwestern Hospitals) pays up to 2K per year, Presbyterian (Texas Health Resources) I think is the best, as they wi...

Dallas could go blue; the Obama folks are about delivering Dallas county. Clinton made a dent in it & this year the dent will be bigger. Have you voted yet?

O- I am in Dallas, doing prereqs & applying online at as many hospitals as possible, but no luck so far. I do have an interview in the am fthough. Can you tell me (specifically or generally) what you make an hour as a transporter? Thank you!

I have been in mortgage business (100% commission sales) for the past 5 years; due to ups & downs in the market, in life (etc) I now have a fairly negative credit report. My experience is that only jobs that have a security aspect (handling other...

Methodist Hospital Dallas is having a job fair tomorrow. I am looking for an entry level job (no medical experience) that will support me during nursing school & also want tuition reimbursement from my employer. Anyone know the scoop on Methodist...
