Acute Care Technician Course


Hello Everyone,
I am currently in a CNA program and will (hopefully) 'graduate' in December. I would really like to work in a hospital, but need to take an Acute Care Technicial Course. Does anybody know where I can take this course in the San Bernardino, CA area?

Hi Enfermera. Chaffey Community College in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca has an Acute Care Technician Course. I took it in March...the classes are held at the Chino campus. Good Luck

Thanks so much for your reply, but Chaffey doesn't offer it anymore. They incorporated it into the LVN program.

Hello again. I'm pretty sure it's still being offered. Maybe the person that told you the ACT is incorporated into the VN program, meant that the ACT is a requirement to get into the VN program. I just attended an info meeting for ACT/LVN in September.
Before getting into any of the health science programs you have to attend an information meeting which lasts only about an hour. There is an info meeting coming up on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd. at the Chino Campus. Anyone can attend.

Here is the Chaffey Health Sciences Information Hotline number that will tell you all about it (909)652-7799. You can also contact Mrs.Sanders for more info..she's really nice and has all the information on CNA, ACT, and LVN programs at Chaffey (909)652-7763.

It's a good program with Clinicals at Kaiser and Chino Hospitals. Keep me updated!!

Really, you attended the info. meeting in September? Wow, maybe they were incorrect. I will give Pam another call. I am taking the CNA class at Chaffey and it would be nice to continue at the same school.

Yeah, call her or just go to the meeting on Dec 2nd. I took my CNA course at Chaffey too and just applied to the LVN program. The ACT and LVN meetings are combined, so you'll get info about the LVN corse when you go as well.

They ARE discontinuing the ACT program. My class is the last class for LVN to have it as a requirement. The class starting this Spring is giving priority to those who have it done, but it is no longer a requirement and the class is discontinued according to the former instructor who now is teaching in the VN program.

I heard that ACT was no longer going to be a VN requirement as well. It is being replaced with Nurvn401. That's cool...Good luck
