I just looked up the classes at the hospitals around me and the soonest one isn't until September! Actually I just found this one from Cook Children's. It's split into two parts, online and a skills...

On the AHA website it says... "Are you a healthcare professional? Courses that meet your needs could include BLS for Healthcare Providers, ACLS, PALS or one of our many other advanced emergency...

Yep, that is correct. FYI- If you have insurance you can't get shots at the county anymore. But, I went to another clinic, (if you can't find somewhere else to get your shots, feel free to message me...

Kate- I'm planning on waiting until August to do CPR through TNSA also. I'm just worried what if everyone is waiting until then to do it. I guess if all the spots are taken, I have the rest of the...

Thanks y'all! That's what I needed to know! :) I wish b/c it's a "program" FA would consider it full time. So, theantichick, have you heard many of your classmates say they take extra classes to be...

I know a nurse who went to Texas Tech for his RN-BSN and REALLY recommended it to me (actually it was just a few days ago that he told me this). But, I didn't know it was less that TWU. Thanks for...

Kate- I called up there today and found out I was on automatic suspension because in spring of 2008 I dropped all of my classes (because I was starting a new job). So that's what was holding it up. I...

Thanks Kate!! Yeah $468 isn't bad at all. I wonder if my financial will be the same way :/ I might need to do the same thing to technically be considered full time. I still need to take history...

That's true, they really do give you a lot in the bundle. I guess I need to call up to the financial aid office, I turned in all of my stuff that they needed from me at the beginning of April so now...

Wow! That's great Caitlyn! You really are a bargain shopper! I usually just rent my books, and that's worked great for me so far, so I'm really not looking forward to having to buy books. Lol, I...

I don't think they are all the same teal. I've seen so many that say they are teal but they look very different from other teals. I just don't know how accurate they want the colors to be. I saw on...
