What is phlebotomy certification

When I first stumbled upon the phlebotomy niche, I had no clue about what the word means. A quick search showed me that phlebotomy is the act of drawing blood from a patient either for testing or donation. We keep cribbing that the medical expenses in the USA is too high. Well that seems to be because even the smallest tasks like drawing blood is done by experts there. Yes phlebotomists are professionals who have passed the phlebotomy certification exam and specialize in this single task.

Phlebotomy Certification is not a regulatory requirement

Except for 2 states in the USA, phlebotomy certification is not really a requirement by any regulatory requirement. Still, the market place has evolved in a manner that the certification is a requirement to get a job as a phlebotomist. Only people like me who have seen even untrained people working as nurses can truly appreciate this fact.

What is involved in phlebotomy certification courses?

Unlike many certification courses that you may be aware of, passing a theory examination alone is not good enough to get a phlebotomy certification. It involves both a practical and a theory part and the student is expected to demonstrate his or her competency in both segments to be able to get the certification. I think that is the way to go for any other certification as well, since only theoretical knowledge is a certificate for the person’s ability to memorize things and not his professional competency.

Finally some benefits of phlebotomy certification

It will be wrong to close this article without discussing some benefits of this certification program. Phlebotomy certification is a great way to improve the chances of getting into the profession of phlebotomists. That is not all though. Phlebotomy as a profession requires a lot of respect and an ability to handle people who are worried and/ or irritated. After all most of them are there to get themselves tested for some disease and definitely it is not the best time to be introduced to new people. The training program exposes students to such real life situation, which helps them to decide if they really want to continue with the program or not.

I have had a lot more learning while working on this phlebotomy certification blog. I will keep sharing them with you from time to time.

So after few weeks of research and experimentation I have come up with this list of suggestions on how to make internet connection faster. Essentially, these suggestions will help you to use your internet connection much more efficiently, thus getting maximum out of your internet connection. These suggestions will make your internet experience faster.

Do you have a right connection for your requirements?
It is very important to select the right connection for your needs in order to enjoy a faster internet connection. If you are a person who just uses the internet for basic email, web browsing, facebook  and occasional youtube, you may not need an unlimited usage connection. In this case it’s better to go with a limited download usage (4 to 5 GB is more than enough) and a high speed connection.

If you are the person who downloads media files a lot it’s better to go with an unlimited / unmetered usage connection. Get the best speed that your budget permits.

Is your Internet Service Provider (ISP) actually delivering you the speed you are paying for ?
This is critical. Get what you are paying for. You need to keep checking for your internet speed from time to time. Many times the ISPs only deliver 50 to 60 percent of the speed promised. Recently I asked one of my friends to check his speed for his 1 Mbps line. He was getting on an average only 600kbps. When he raised the issue with his ISP, his connection speed was fixed.  You can check the speed of you internet connection using following websites:
– speedtest.net
– testmyspeed.com
– mcafee.com

Check Auto-Updaters for the softwares installed:
Auto-update of the installed software like Java, Windows, Adobe etc can run in the background while you are browsing and make the internet feel slow for you. Best way is to switch off the auto-update for softwares and windows. We have already written about how to disable adobe updater in one of our earlier posts. You can run these updaters manually as and when when required. Another good way is to schedule these updates to download updates during the time your may not be using your computer.

Use good and light weight Anti-virus and anti-spyware software:
Your PC can be infected by viruses, malware and/or spy wares which will not only slow it down but also affect your internet connection by utilizing it for their own purpose without even your knowledge. They can potentially download or upload huge amounts of data from your system making your connection really slow. Two of the best anti-virus software are:
– Avast
– Kapersky
– You can also use Windows Defender (which comes with Windows Vista and Windows 7)
Avoid using Norton or Symantec Anti-virus as they can really slow your system down because they utilize a lot of system resources (RAM).

Use download Managers for large files:
If you have to download large files, say about 20 MB or more, always use a File Transfer / download manager. There are many free options available like  FlashGet / Free Download Manager (FDM) / Internet Download Manager (IDM). If you use rapidshare to download files from the internet, then you can use one of the free rapidshare downloader to download the files while the connection has a comparatively lower level of pressure.

User Better Browsers:
Firefox and Chrome are much better browsers to use compared to Internet Explorer. They process HTML/Java/Javascript, faster and hence render pages much faster that Internet Explorer. Firefox and Chrome also have good memory management and rarely hang. You can use Opera which is also a good option. Over all if I have to recommend one browser, I will go with Google Chrome.

Keep your system(PC) fast and clean:
Many a times it’s not the internet but your system that is slow. To keep your system running fast, do the following maintenance tasks periodically:
- Disk Cleanup
- Clear cache of all your browser
– Disk Defragmentation
- Full system scan from your anti-virus
- Update your windows and other frequent programs (if you set auto-update to off)
– Uninstall all the unnecessary programs that you may have installed

BEWARE! Avoid softwares which claim to increase your internet speed:
There are many softwares available on internet which claim to increase your internet speed by changing TCP / IP, Winsock and other internet settings. Most often than not these will harm your system or change your internet settings in a way that your internet connection will stop working. Avoid these at all costs.

Avoid browsing on VPN to make internet connection faster:
If you have a office VPN, use it only for your official work. Avoid browsing on your office VPN. When you use a VPN, your entire data flows through it, and it can get slow if your office servers are slow or if they have too many concurrent connections. So for non work related browsing, it is a good idea to browse without the VPN connection. BTW, have you seen the free VPN service that we have talked about in the past?

Use OpenDNS (Only for the more technically inclined):
Many times the ISPs do not maintain their DNS servers properly. As a result their DNS servers get overloaded or experience other technical problems. They may take a long time to respond to lookup requests or they may not respond at all. Sometimes when your Internet connection seems to be down, it may be fine but it may simply appear down because your ISP’s DNS isn’t working properly.

To avoid this, you can OpenDNS as your DNS service instead of your ISP’s DNS. I have used OpenDNS and found it really good. My internet connection seems to be more stable and robust. (Note: Using OpenDNS, will not increase you internet speed, but it will reduce to downtimes or ‘server not found’ scenarios). Refer OpenDNS.com/ for more details. OpenDNS basic is free and also provides your with added features like Web Content Filtering, Phishing Protection and Typo Correction.

Please let us know if you are able to make your internet connection by using some of the tips mentioned in this article. If you have any specific question then just leave them as a comment and we shall try to solve it as soon as possible.

Still I continue to be bullish about the potential role of online websites to make real life commerce a lot more efficient and I am working on some really cool idea for enabling efficient price discovery of books. I will ask you for a feedback as soon as the first phase of the project gets completed. Trust me that is one of the best pieces of codes I have written till date and I am really proud of the project.

My theory that a place holder should always be created as soon as you start working on a project that will take more than a month to be completed. That is why I have started a website about prices in India which will work as a place holder for this cool project of mine. This website is going to have pages like Nokia mobile price list in India and Nokia 5230 price in India among other things.

I have a strong hunch that to be truly useful, I need to convert this site to make the prices dynamic. So that post about nokia mobile prices should be able to get the prices updated whenever the price of a model changes, automatically. What do you think is the best way to accomplish the same?

What is Free CNA Training

CNA training is a training program that prepares people to become a certified nursing assistant. However because of the recent slowdown in the USA many aspirants have been finding it difficult to affors the cost of the CNA Training. The Free CNA Training  is a really intelligent solution to this problem. Free CNA Training programs are offered by nursing homes and old age care homes. The candidate is allowed to attend the CNA classes for free, however he is expected to pay the organization in kind either in the form of free service during the course or by agreeing to work with the organization after completing the CNA certification.

Are free CNA Training courses a fraud?

Some organizations have brought bad name to free cna training courses by promising a free training to candidates while they actually charge an exorbiant fee later. However according to me such people are few and you need not worry about them. Do your homework and basic background check well before joining any free cna training course and you shall not have to worry.

How do I get a Free Red Cross CNA training?

Looks like you are confusing two of the most popular forms of CNA training. Red Cross CNA Training is a CNA training offered by the red cross and it is NOT free. While free cna training are offered by a number of nursing homes and hospitals in America. Many people get both these concepts mixed up and try to look for free red cross cna training. To the best of my knowledge there is nothing like a free red cross cna training though.

I hope you found the information provided above useful. Let me know if any clarification is required and I shall help you out.

Understanding System Restore

If you have not encountered system restore in earlier versions of windows then think of it as a undo command for microsoft windows. If your os starts behavings badly after installing a particular programme or because of a virus etc, then you can use system restore to take your computer back to an earlier date when it was working fine.

How does System Restore in Windows 7 work

If you enable system restore then it takes periodical snapshot of your system and stores them as restore points when you make any significant changes or install any driver. When you use system restore to solve a problem it simply overwrites your current file system by this backed up configuration. Since the backed up version did not have the problematic software or virus, the problem gets resolved.

Scan for Affected Programs before doing system restore in Windows 7

A big problem with system restore in windows xp was that there was no way to find out what all programmes will be deleted after the system restore. The problem has been resolved to a large extent in windows 7 through a feature called scan for affected programmes. It will provide you a list of prgrams that will be uninstalled after the system restore, thereby making it easier to decide if you need to back up certain files.
