On the American Heart Association website they have a list of courses. Is BLS for Healthcare Providers the correct course? None of the courses are named just Healthcare Provider. If this is the correct one, there are three sites in Blair County that provide.

Yes it should be the BLS (Basic Lifesavers) course for healthcare providers, from my understanding. :) Very eager to meet a few of you ladies!

Ok I have another question, do you know if the second degree program accepts FASFA? Because the deadline to apply is soon approaching. Its stilll PSU campus so I think it would but I was unsure if the Second Degree program was different.

mmw99 · Apr 16, 2013

I would assume so. I would apply for the FASFA if I were you, the worst that could happen is to be turned down. But I don't know anything for sure.

So does anyone know about the student insurance if you don't have current health insurance and how it works?

mmw90 · May 8, 2013

I looked into it slightly, and *I think*, you can have it billed to your bursars account. To apply for it all you do is apply online here. https://students.aetnastudenthealth.com/welcome.aspx?groupid=846513 and here is the fee schedule for the insurance https://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/students/student-connection.aspx?GroupID=846513. Hope this helps you out a little bit :)

So my doctor wouldn't allow me to get me 2 step TB skin test because there is a nationwide shortage, meaning I won't be able to get it anywhere and neither will anyone else. I e-mailed*******about this and she still hasn't gotten back to me. I don't know what to do because our compliances will not be completed.

You saw a geisinger doc huh? lol I had the same problem BUT I went to med-express paid 30 bucks and I got the second part of my tb test done there. (I was able to get the first step done at geisinger, just not the second)
