Also starting March 3!

ohh no you are only listed anywhere as an STNA if you take and pass the state test. PCA is more hospital-based, you are right about that.

Oh, well I can't speak of Cincy, but I don't think you're out of the running. Does it tell you on the website or when you apply for specific jobs what the qualification requirements are? I know at Nationwide Children's they have various experience requirements, and one is an STNA with I think a year of experience. Of course, Cincy may be different, I don't know.

Which Children's?

Medical records don't disappear because the doctor dies, but they probably disappeared when you turned 18. It's common for childhood records to be shredded when you're 18+, mine were, ugh.

I have had Chamberlain students tell me that they are being phased out of Riverside here in Columbus. Many of them were supposed to have a postpartum clinical there this summer but were told right before classes started that they would no longer be welcome there. The school scrambled to find alternate clinical sites and some students this summer have to drive to Cleveland for their clinical. That definitely sent up some red flags for me.

Chances are you won't hear back in time. Last year I applied to the online track in December and then the traditional track in January right when it opened. I got my online acceptance letter in February and immediately accepted. I'm assuming doing that completely took me out of the running for traditional (which is fine) because I never heard another word about it.

When was the application period for the pilot? Is there any reason why you're waiting to hear back instead of applying when the traditional track window opens?
