Patient Care - Connecticut Training Centers Inc

Patient Care from Connecticut Training Centers Inc is a Campus Certificate Clinical Nurse degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Over the last several years, hospitals and other clinical settings have had to consolidate front-line patient care . The direct patient care professional must be able to complete various tasks formerly associated with medical technicians, nurse aides, LPNs and other health professionals. The new position carries the title "Patient Care Associate" at most area hospitals. The position differs from the Certified Medical Assistant because it is non-basic, totally clinically based, and without the office skills associated with the CMA. The curriculum that follows has been developed with input from local hospital supervisors and administrators, as well as other area health providers. Students will learn the 23 nursing skills as required to become a CNA. They will also learn basic medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, and basic communication and mathematics skills. Program includes an advanced course in EKG technology, phlebotomy, pharmacology, CPR, basic first aid. While the focus of the curriculum is to train competent Patient Care Associates, students may elect to seek additional certifications during training. Areas of additional certification include Certified Nurse Aide and Home Health Aide. All students in this program are required to submit a statement of good health signed by a licensed physician prior to participating in the clinical experience beginning in PCA 110.
