I'm a career changer/pre-nursing student and was scanning the job postings at my local hospital for opportunities to get some experience when I noticed several dozen "Patient Care Associate" positions. I've never heard of this before, but from the very brief description it sounds like a CNA job. Yet... no CNA course is required and they claim to offer 4 weeks orientation. Has anyone heard of anything like this before?

nvrmind, just got off the phone w/ HR. Turns out the do on the job training and a lot of the people in the position are people like me who are trying to get experience in a hospital to see if they want to go into nursing. Could not be more perfect for my current situation ^_^

Granted its night shifts in a slightly rough area, but I already volunteer in this hospital and its not that bad : )

::runs off to apply:: cross your fingers for me! ^_^
