Yes, sorta. I have been an RN for20yrs. never really kept in touch, except one day when i was dx with breast ca. went to one of the survivor meetings and she was there. She to was a ca survivor. We really didn't discuss work we were more focused on our dx. As the meeting went on, one of my favorite instructors was the head of our ABCC. So yes & no.
I Recieved mine 4years ago. I am a RN FA ADN. Recieved mine from Taas New Mexico. You can go on the web for AORN and follow the instructions. Thats what I did.
I recieved my RNFA from Northern NewMexico @ Taos. My surgeon that I work for paid my way. I scrub 3 days a week so it was easy to get all my hours for the class. I had a awsome time in my class. People from all over the US was there. Test were difficult, lab was easy. Class took 1 week. For reimbursement My boss & I worked out an incentive plan. I will get what the insurances pay 2 x year. Like a bonus. He gets 60% I get 40%. Its Ok. I get paid by the hour anyway.I have worked for my boss for 14years. He is a CRS & I don't know anything but Butts & Guts....... HAHA
