Jiwon Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I am trying to start building up my PCE hours. I took a CNA class over a year ago and worked about two months with it. Also, im moving to a different state, and since my cna class was over a year ago, they will not let me test for GNA or test in the different state. I would have to go through the CNA class again. I do not have to time or the money to this. im trying to find another option for pce since i need to start asap. what are some of my options? and is phlebotomy and medical assistant a national certification or state certification like CNA? any input would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiav Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 you could do EMT school (national) or a medical assistant without doing the certification formula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD2012 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Physical therapy aide supplemented by being a volunteer interpreter at a free clinic for patient/doctor dialogue. I was lucky with the PT Aide position and it doesn't require any certifications besides BLS for healthcare providers. I had hands-on patient experience.
