FOCUS ON COURSE:
| Health Unit Coordinator - Open Enrollment!
| Course Description:
This course is designed to prepare the health unit
coordinator student to facilitate the activities of
people in a health unit to work together smoothly
and harmoniously in the
delivery of health care to patients. Students will
learn management of information, communication,
medical terminology, critical thinking and cultural
diversity.
Students will learn to transcribe
physician orders. Students with skills in health unit coordinating
will be prepared to work in a variety of health care
settings.
Certification
Note: Upon successful completion of the program students
will be eligible to take the national certification
exam administered by the National Association of
Health Unit Clerks and Coordinators (NAHUC).
Pay scale - $25,000 to 35,000. Wages
depend on location and demand.
Hours: 60
Prerequisite: None
Price: $392.50 (Does not include NAHUC Fees)
Comment: We believe
that health unit
coordinating is a profession that is attractive
to the new wave of health care workers. A recent
Health Care Advisory Board analysis of the number of
inpatient beds needed to care for our aging
population indicates that we will face a shortage of
beds in the future. The analysis indicates that the need for beds
is growing every year.
These additional beds
will increase the number of health unit coordinators
needed in the workforce.

Pharmacy Tech - Online Course!
We're pleased to announce the latest class in our health care lineup:
Pharmacy Technician. This is one of the fastest growing medical
professions and you don't need years of schooling or an advanced degree
to find a good job in this field. Call or email us if you'd like to get on the wait list. According to the U.S. Department of
Labor: Median salary for Pharmacy Technicians is $13.22 an hour and salaries can range from above minimum wage to almost $20 an hour. Job opportunities for pharmacy technicians are expected to be good,
especially for those with previous experience, formal training, or
certification. (Our Pharmacy Technician program will give you a competitive edge!) Employment of pharmacy technicians and aides is expected to increase by
25 percent from 2008 to 2018, which is much faster than the average for
all occupations. Employment of pharmacy technicians is expected to increase by 31 percent.
Good customer service and communication skills are needed because
pharmacy technicians and aides interact with patients, coworkers, and
healthcare professionals. Basic mathematics, spelling, and reading
skills also are important, as technicians must interpret prescription
orders and verify drug doses. Technicians also must be precise: details
are sometimes a matter of life and death. In most States, pharmacy technicians must be registered with the
State board of pharmacy. Eligibility requirements vary, but in some
States applicants must possess a high school diploma or its equivalent
and pay an application fee. Most States do not require technicians to be certified, but voluntary
certification is available through several private organizations. The
Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) and the Institute for the
Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ICPT) administer national
certification examinations. Certification through such programs may
enhance an applicant's prospects for employment and is required by some
States and employers. To be eligible for either exam, candidates must
have a high school diploma or its equivalent and no felony convictions
of any kind. In addition, applicants for the PTCB exam must not have
had any drug-related or pharmacy-related convictions, including
misdemeanors. Many employers will reimburse the cost of the exams.Whether
you're looking to take your career in a new direction, or are just
starting out, you can't go wrong with our online Pharmacy Technician
class.

While most of us use the internet in our personal lives, it doesn't
always occur to us to share it with people outside the home. For
long-term care residents, the facility is their home, but how many enjoy
the same internet access we all take for granted? Does your facility
have internet-connected computers available for the residents, or high
speed internet connections in resident rooms? If not, you're missing
out. The internet can be a great source of entertainment, learning, and
human interaction. Wait - human interaction?
Yep. Read on!
