[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]PP, how exactly do you know where the poster you have responded to is getting her certification? Did you go to an accredited mind reading course?

What are you referring to?[/quote]

01:18 posted: [b]I'm one of the PP's-

I am working towards becoming a Certified Newborn Care Specialist. I know this isn't official, but every Baby Nurse I have talked to (and this has been several) does their taxes an Independent Contractor.

The way it was explained to me is because they choose their clients, set their own hours, work short periods of time, work for several different clients over the year, etc. [/b]

Then 10:18 responded: [i]You may want to spend your time & money getting training from an accredited school in newborn care.

Many find this "certified" NCS class to be questionable. Creating a training program you benefit financially from while also being the person to decide its good enough to "certify" you is just crazy. I could create a program and then certify you to the same effect. Means nothing. [/i]

At 15:35, I was attempting to determine how 10:18 had deduced where 01:18 was getting her training by asking "PP, how exactly do you know where the poster you have responded to is getting her certification? Did you go to an accredited mind reading course?" [/quote]

No mind reading needed. It's the same "course" regardless of if she's doing it online or through someone the NCSA has deemed fit to teach it. End result is the same- the woman who created the program / test is the same woman running the NCSA and trying to pass that course off as resulting in being "certified."

There is a state accredited school teaching a newborn care program but they are knowledgeable enough about the industry to know there is in fact no independent certifying body. They provide a certificate of completion like you'd get from an accredited trade college- but they do not claim you are then "certified." Their program is actually overseen by an independent party (board of colleges and trade schools.)

May seem like semantics, but it matters. If I created a program, certified the people who took it, created an organization to make it seem more legit, the end result is the same. It means nothing in the end, IMO and that of many others familiar with it.  Giving it false importance is frustrating and misleading.[/quote]
