EMT or CNA

I want to get a job as an ED tech or PCT. I have enough room next semester to either take an EMT-B class or the CNA class and lab. Which one would give me a better chance at getting a tech or PCT position?

If you're pretty sure that your interest lies in ER, I would do EMT.

Specializes in ER, IICU, PCU, PACU, EMS.

Before making your decision, I would also inquire as to what level of EMT EDs are hiring in your area. I know in my area, techs are only paramedics and not EMT-Bs.

Good luck!!
