I think that alot of those courses are for advance techs already working in hospitals. The truth of the matter is as a cna alot of hospitals don't hire cna's w/o any work experience, so Taking the (PCT) course would be an excellent choice if u really want my .As a PCT you get more experience than a CNA meaning you get hired faster at a hospital and without work experience. I am currently enrolled in a Patient Care Tech course now and it includes CNA cert, EKG cert, Phlebotomy cert and they train to do ivs and foleys.The class included books, scrubs, shoes, and I received a free dell laptop. They will also be giving me my national exam on site for free.
