Requirements for Nurse Aide Testing
Hello all! I know we have all talked about finding a single source for our information about the regulations for a Nurse Aide Program. Well, the nearest I can tell is........ there really isn't one.
That being said, I did however, find some useful information that may help. Mass.Gov website. Look for Health & Human Services. Listed there, is a link to the Requirements for the Nurse Aide Registry. ( or just click on the link to the left of this blog :) )
This Page gives you an outline and the Federal law numbers. These numbers can be located through a search.
Have I confused you? Call me at work or wait until we have another meeting together

Blog Anyone
Has anyone attempted to create a blog to communicate with their students? I have started one for my students and so far it is working ok. They are just beginning to read and comment. Sometimes it is silly things sometimes a great reminder for all of their classmates. I do have to entice them with the prospect that their picture will be there. (Hams!!!) I have also asked them for some topics. Sometimes I just write when their homework is due.
Anyway, it is quite easy to start one. Just go to google, click more, scroll down to blog and follow the directions. I am sure that your students could help.

CPR Instructor' Course
I know that I told you that my partner LaDonna left to teach at the college level in Maryland. Well, she was the one with the CPR Instructor Certification. So, I bit the bullet and got my certification again. I had a great time, met nice people and also made a new professional contact.
I went to EMS Academy in Quincy. The director's name is Lori Joyce. and this is her link. http://www.emsacademy.biz/ They also have sites in Marshfield and in Woburn. It really is one stop shopping. I will be getting my student's cards from there, future updates from AHA. and a resource for instructional material.
You may also want to try out another web site that Lori passed on to us. www.aha.channing-bete.com. for manuals etc.
I will add these addresses to the blog

Delmar Online Companion
I have for a long time, made my own PowerPoint presentations, and labored to find online resources to help the students understand topics. What I should have done is to to the Online companion that accompanies the selected text that I am using and BINGO! There are the presentations,and online resources that I need.
At SSVT, we use Body Structures by Scott for our A&P and we use Nursing Assistant, A Nursing Process Approach by Hegner.
To get to these online companions go to http://www.cengage.com/delmar/ The click onto educators then click onto online companions. You will have to click onto a general topic such as allied health or nursing. Once you locate the book click on to instructors resources or student resources. It is amazing!! You may need a password. e-mail Lisa Arsenault.
Enjoy!
