Did some more research. Going into a LPN program with the state schools seems the best route. Relatively inexpensive and has payment plans set up. Additionally, it is a 15 month program...3 semesters. If I start in the Spring of 2016 I would be done ...

I mean I worked with some rude ones and some amazing ones. I really don't like the nurses that can't have the simple courtesy to hold open the door for anyone. Saw one slam a door on a Doctor's face once. Then worked with nurse's who protect their ow...

As far as I know been told by resp. Therapist to stay far away rub if you can from a degree in respiratory therapist...being there are not many or of any job's. Same with radiology tech, it's not as bad, but getting there. I looked into physical ther...

I mean our state shut down a few LPN programs awhile back and the burden went to private institutions. However, I am seeing a resurrection of LPN and LVN within the state. The issue I have is a state program is $11,000 and private is $30,000 where ...

Normally where I am they say EMT B but take a Medic. The hospitals for the ER here want a Basic to come in with phlebotomy skills.

I know a few hospitals here only hire PCA/PCT or Paramedic. Our state it is regulated I think don't quote me on his some of the hospitals can let the Medic who is a tech in scope of practice start a line but that is only in the ER. The PCAS are train...

I would love if they would allow PCAS with bachelor's to document patient care. I loved doing interviews with the patient's and enjoyed doing intake assessments before the state mandated RNs and Social Workers to do it. Do feel PCAS should be able ...

We have in our state CNA that takes a month of training, PCA takes additional three to four months of training plus have to have your CNA cert or add it into training...depends it is about 140-160 hour's of training...then LPN/LVN training which is ...
