1. How to get EKG training?

   tropicalyeti replied to SeattleJess's topic in CNA/MA

   hey Seattlejess! I know this thread is so very old but I'm in the same predicament you were, and my internet search actually lead to this post. If any chance you still read this, did you end up going with the online ECG course? I'm waiting to hear if...

2. BLS classes?

   tropicalyeti replied to tropicalyeti's topic in Washington

   Thanks petiteartichoke! Turns out CPR Seattle is like 5 blocks from where I work and they do evening classes so I registered for one of theirs:) I saw the discount classes but couldn't make any of the times work. I'm so glad I don't have to go all th...

3. BLS classes?

   tropicalyeti replied to tropicalyeti's topic in Washington

   Oo yes that is perfect, thank you! I think Cascade Training Center came up on the AHA search but they only let you look at one week at a time so I was confused. I think one of their Saturday classes will work. Thanks for your help!! :)

4. BLS classes?

   tropicalyeti posted a topic in Washington

   Hi AN, Has any of you in Washington done BLS courses through AHA? I feel so dumb looking at their website, but it doesn't seem like that many places offer in-class sessions. There's 1 option coming up in Seattle, and the next closest to me is in Eve...

7. Lvn or straight to RN?

   tropicalyeti replied to CNAtonurse4's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd go straight into an RN program if you can. Based on the CC's around where I live, there are very few LVN to RN ladder programs so basically they only let in 2 or 3 outside LVNs at the most. Some of the point-admission schools do give extra points...

8. Taking A&P 1 for the summer quarter

   tropicalyeti replied to danyoon1019's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took AP 2 during Summer quarter while working full time and there were no problems. Having only one class really let me dedicate my full studying attention to AP 2 which made it a lot easier. If you are already feeling confident about Chem, I think...

9. Opinions?

   tropicalyeti replied to court2889's topic in Washington

   Hi court2889 -- I just came upon your post because I saw you were applying to the UW BSN program, did you end up getting in? Also your previous work history in Boston is very impressive! Can I ask how you get qualified for a job like that? Because ev...
