  1. Plavix vs Lovenox before surgery

    Hello! I work in HomeCare and I am trying to figure something out. I have a patient who is currently on Plavix and Aspirin daily. He is having surgery on 10/24 and his MD said he would have to hold both prior to surgery. He has AFib and a pacemaker. ...
  2. Ptec April 2012 online class

    I am currently in the day program at Ptec and at times it is a little unorganized, but you get what you pay for. This program is so much less $$ than any other program that I can stand a little chaos. As far as getting accepted, I got 12.9 on the TAB...
  3. I am going through the application process at the Ptec Clearwater campus for the August 2011 start date. Does anyone know about how many people are admitted? What were some of your scores if you have been previously admitted? Any advice would be help...

  6. ptec august 2011 start...anyone applying?

    I did have to take both the TABE and the TEAS. THe TABE was so easy, honestly if you are unable to pass that this program is too hard for you. So far we have competed all the CNA part! The fitst part was not hard at all, you need to maintain an avera...

    At the orientation the PN advisor told us only 24! I am super nervous! And on top of that they postponed the St. PETE start date so there is just the Clearwater traditional program and the hybrid starting in August. I guess they have had a lot of cut...

    When did your program start? Do you know what the average was as far as how many points people have? I am just trying to figure out my chances...tia

    The Clearwater location and St. Pete location each offer the TEAS test one day per week. Obviosuly now this week is the last week to take the TEAS as the application is due on Tuesday. I am only applying for the LPN program as I have taken a CNA/HHA/...

    I took version 5, they changed the point system based on the new TEAS because it so so much harder. Now you only need a 58% to get in instead of a 70%. I was thinking about re-taking it, but unfortunately I just took it last Friday and there is not 3...
  16. ptec august 2011 start...anyone applying?

    Yes this helps. I have have 68.7 which is 2 points, plus I work in the healtcare field, so that is another point, and I have taken CNA/Phlebotomist/Hospital Tech training. Hopefully that will count as the two points. Worst case i know i have 3 points...
  17. ptec august 2011 start...anyone applying?

    Thats comparible to what I have on version 5. How many points did those people have though?
  18. ptec august 2011 start...anyone applying?

    I scored at 68.7 which I am happy I passed but not satisfied with my grade. I am thinking that I am going to try it again and see if I can bump it up. I am so close to another point!

    I also attended the same seminar. I didn't learn as much about the program as I was hopeing to. I took my TEAS the other day, I had to take the new Version 5. What were some of your scores? I think I did ok, but have nothing really to compare it to b...
