er tech or pca? new to healthcare

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

Hi everyone!

I have 2 weeks left in my cna course and today I attended a job fair and was offered an interview with the med surg dept and the ed dept(level 4) will be contacting me on monday to set up an interview.

I understand both depts come with a wealth of knowledge but wanted to hear from your all. I have no experience and am transitioning into the healthcare field. I wanted to know which dept would be the greatest for me in terms of exp? The ed dept told me they'd train me to draw blood, place iv's, read ekgs, etc. med surg dept only told me about adls and rounding on pt every hour.

Looking for some insight. medsurg would hire me as a pca, the ed would hire me as a er tech/unit secretary.

what state/area do you live?
Southern California
