I'm also taking mine at Gurnick San Mateo later this month. I haven't heard of any other courses, besides, since I am a Gurnick student, I get a discount!!!!!!

Hi Savvy! I'm take one later this month at my school. We have to wait until we are done, or almost done with the program before we can take it (completely makes sense since we have so many other classes anyway).

I don't know if you found an IV Therapy course, but I am signed up in San Mateo. Hope this helps! http://www.gurnick.edu/programs/iv-cert-course

I've been looking too! Found one!

Don't be too hard on yourself! :)

Thanks very much Kittah! That was very informative and helpful!

Any advice out there about clinical rotations? I will be starting clinical rotations and found out that I might be going to a SNF. What exactly is a SNF? What will I need to do? Are patients usually approachable? I wanted to go into nursing to specialize in pediatrics. I will have to learn so many different fields, is it necessary?

Hi Gabriel, I hope you find the right school. I am not sure how far up in Cali you are. If you are in the Bay Area, I will recommend Gurnick. I just started in January, and had checked out a lot of other schools. What I can say is that it is in a small and intimate setting so you get a lot of personal attention from your instructors. Much better feeling than a large institution, especially if you are going to move away from home. A lot of my classmates get together and have potlucks and study together. Also, I was able to request weekend clinicals since I will have a chance to make enough $$$$ during the week if you know what I mean. The bay area can be expen$ive. Good luck!
