Hi all,

I am a pre-nursing student (with a masters degree in education), who will be changing careers to nursing.

I will be applying to various nursing homes that offer CNA training. I have heard that some hospitals offer Patient Care Tech training to people with no experience. Do you know of any hospitals or facilities that offer it?

Thanks!

Gosh, you probably know the anwer by now. But, I would get my CNA license from the American Red Cross, just so you can get your feet wet.

If you live in Eastern Massachusetts, I would check out Bunker Hill Community College's program- they actually teach you "acute care" skills in addition to the skills that nursing home CNAs use:

Otherwise- do the 4-week program through the American Red Cross.
