GENERAL INFORMATION - PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN

Overview

The 911PROGRAMS Patient Care Technician program provides complete training in three specialties: Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Phlebotomy, and EKG Technician. Upon completion of this program the graduate will receive certification as a CNA, Phlebotomist, and EKG Technician - collectively, a Patient Care Technician. For specific information about each aspect of these modules, please see the relevant pages on our website that describe each specialty. Students must take the followng modules to complete this program:

• General Medical Studies
• Certified Nursing Assistant
• Certified Phlebotomy Technician
• Certified EKG Technician

The General Medical Studies portion must be completed first. After that, the student may complete the rest of the modules in any order or, if preferred, simultaneously. Once all the modules are completed (and the student passes the relevant NHA exams), the student will receive three certificates from the program (CNA, Phlebotomy, EKG Technician) and two from the NHA (Phlebotomy, EKG Technician).
