azngurl6189- Do you mind sharing your background and stats?

Generally you cannot be involved in actual patient care beyond transport, getting water/blankets/etc, and that sort of thing as a volunteer for insurance reasons. Even with my EMT and phlebotomy certifications, I am not allowed to act in any capacity that those licenses allow while acting as a volunteer at the hospital. Volunteer mission trips, free clinics, blood drive type events, and so on would probably be a different story.

I post all of my due dates to my email's calendar, 5hen sync that with my phone's calendar. I set my reminders for however far ahead of time I want to be reminded, and my phone alerts me plus I receive an email. There are also planner apps that will track your assignments, due dates, notes, grades, schedule,etc

Try looking under state employment as well. For some reason, at our county health depts, most work for the state rather than the county (budget reasons maybe). This is MD but it may be the same in TX.

There is no more basic, it's just EMT. Intermediate is now Advanced (AEMT)

I never said anything about pre-meds. I've never looked at those threads so I don't know what those people talk about. Some schools do discriminate against cc's, and some don't. Some won't accept online classes, some will.

There are hybrid nursing programs. I, too, have a hard time staying focused in lecture. I usually end up reading the material on my own and using lecture time to work on my assignments.

Good thing I'm not selling it just stating facts. Google is your friend, and if you need help getting started on your quest to enlightenment, search threads on student doctor and physician assistant forum.

I know of quite a few PA, vet, and PT. schools that accept online prereqs (including science courses)

From what I understand, R/O is usually part of the plan, not the findings. So, in this case, the doc would like to rule out CVA and OSA

I've always seen them as being interchangeable. If in doubt, see what the syllabus or course description says (for example, for science majors, for prehealth majors, etc)

I would find them both cheaper and buy them both, and then sell them both when I am done because I hardly crack open a textbook after I am done with the class. Look at cheapbooks.com to find the lowest price for your books.

I am guessing that since it was a double major with a social science, it was easier and shorter, if not required, to do the BA option rather than the BS (I've never heard of a BS in Sociology). As for me, I don't think I'll be pursuing the CNA option since the soonest I could do it would be in the fall semester, and by then, what's the point? I'll have already submitted my applications before I even graduate from the program or getting my certification, and I really don't have a desire to work as a CNA anyway. I've noticed that hear in MD you need a CNA for pretty much anything, which seems like some sort of conspiracy to me. If anything, I would rather spend that time and money to get my AEMT and get trained to do advanced airway management, IV therapy, and so on. That seems a lot more relevant to me than what goes on in the CNA curriculum. I got a call from a hospital in DE about a tech job, so hopefully that will pan out. How would you compare the nursing teaching model to the medical teaching model? Less technical and more focused on patient relations, palliative care, etc?

I took it through Mayville State University. they mail you the specimens for dissection (rats, eyeballs, etc). It was a pretty neat course. I have been looking for an online biochem course and have noticed that quite a few schools offer A&P w/lab online. Another one I know of is Dallas County Community College.
