No I didn't apply yet. The hours available conflict with homeschooling my daugther.

Thanks for all your replies that helps clarify it very well.

So how does that work-- you apply, get hired, then can enroll in the class with your continue employment being on the condition you successfully complete the class? What are the hours for a 12 hour shift day/evening or evening/night?

I am interested in applying for entry level job to get my feet wet in the medical field. I'm interested in both nursing and healthcare management. I see several jobs open at St. John's Mercy for Patient Care Associates, but the requirements aren't very clear. It says applicants need to have completed a PCA/PCT class. Does that mean they want applicants to complete a CNA course prior to applying? Second question: what are the average shift times for day/evening shift and evening/night shifts? I want to make sure the hours will fit with my family before I apply. Thank you!:heartbeat
