Nursing Care Associates

Published

Hello everyone!

I'm a CNA with more than 5 years experience and I would like to work in one of the Wellstar company and the close one is Kennestone Hospital, Marietta, GA. But they always ask for the NCA not CNA. Please can anyone tell me where to take the Wellstar Completion of nursing care associate course?

Thank you for your help.

I've seen the job posting you are referring to, and I honestly don't know where you take the WellStar course. BUT...Nursing Care Associate is another name for Patient Care Technician. At least that's one of about 20+ job titles my book from Special Nursing Procedures class listed that was on the same level as PCT. There are several job titles out there, but they pretty much mean you have to be a PCT with your CNA or a nursing student who has taken certain courses to get the job. I can send you the list of job titles if you like, but I don't know how much it would help you. Good luck job hunting. :)
