My Nursing Education

Hello readers, and students;
I recently received my certification from the State of Michigan to train Nurses Aides. Truly looking forward to beginning the CNA program at the end of September. There are only 8 students per class. We still have 7 openings in the AM  sections on Friday and Saturday for the 22nd of January, 2010. It is going to be great! We will be using the Michigan Model for our training guide. Did you know that in Michigan, when a nurses aide is hired prior to obtaining their certification, that the healthcare provider must reimburse the student up to $750 toward their tuition for their CNA program? How wonderful is this? The program costs $600, which includes up to 24 hours on the job clinical experience. You must admit, it is very easy to place nurses aides once they have had all of the hands on experience prior to certification. By the way, I was told of an excellent book to help students pass the Thompson Prometric Certification Exam for nurses aides. I will share that with everyone in class. My next certificate will be the phlebotomy instructor certificate. Though it is not necessary to have in the State of Michigan, being an RN qualifies an instructor to teach phlebotomy. I think that I am going to go for my Infection Control Certificate next month. Why not, if it helps me to be a better teacher, as well as become more knowledgable. Let me hear from all of you out there. I sell a lot of my Pass the NET tutorials, including the software and would like to hear some more feedback from those who have purchased the products and took the test.
Take Care All,
Nancy
