Great start to a great week!

Hi Everyone,

Keep up the good work!!! I received more compliments about your motivation and commitment to the program, as well as the excellent patient care you provide.

Tomorrow Night:  Medical Explorers - Topic is Labor and Delivery. 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
(please arrive early).  Please sign in - Ashleigh from the a.m. class has the sign in sheet. 

By the way, if you are planning to become an RN - look up NCLEX and TEAS testing.  Medical school? - look up MCAT testing and the study materials that are available. These are tests you must pass to move forward with your education.

GHS: CAHSEE Testing 2/5 and 2/6 - Sorry, I wish I could give you the afternoon off....but your attendance is required for P2 on Tuesday, 2/5 at 12:35 until 1:45. Even though you not required to be at school on the morning of 2/5, I recommend you attend site in that morning as you would any other Tuesday. Some of you have the opportunity to go in early in the morning, perhaps to observe procedures. Not attending can be another setback if you are short on hours, so consider putting in 2-3 hours that morning. On Wednesday, 2/6, GHS students meet with me at 11:40 as per the schedule. Again, you may attend site if you have your manager/supervisor's permission to do so that morning. More CC hours for you! PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND TALK TO YOUR SITE in advance and make arrangements for Wednesday morning if you plan to attend.


CC HOURS: By the end of January, you should have 60-70 hours. (80 is the plan by 1/31/13). Please check the posting of hours and do the math...are you on course to meet the 180 hour requirement?

All schools: Make sure you inform me of ANY site attendance changes due to tardy, absence or testing schedules.

HOMEWORK DUE 1/30: Don't show up empty-handed.

Use this letter (sample below) as your guide and type a new one up as if you are actually sending it to your current internship site to apply for a job. (sample for portfolio only). Print it out and bring it in next Wednesday. 50 Points

I have some training plans that were supposed to be handed out in the PM class. I will give those to you Wednesday. Do you need help finding a job description on line? Contact me so I can help.

GHS Blood Drive, Wed. 1/30.  Be prepared if you are donating blood. Hydration, nutrition, rest. Contact Ms. Miller if you are ill. It may prevent you from donating. Thank you. Be sure to tell me that you donated so I can prepare a certificate for your portfolio.

Have a great evening.
