Additional classes to take while becoming a CNA?Rating: (votes: 0) The community college does have online classes that I could take and there were some that interested me and I think would look good on my resume next to me CNA license. However I never worked in a health care environment so what I think would look good may be meaningless in the real world so I wanted to get some advice from anybody on what I should do. I have signed up for a BLS for health care providers course that I start this week because in my job search I noticed many employers seem to like that a person has this. I also signed up for medical terminology (I did before I knew I was getting into the CNA course) but found out that they will be teaching that in my course and my mom took med term a few years back and gave me all her textbooks and DVD's from that class. I figured I would drop that class and switch to HIPPA Compliance. Here is the link for that course: Northampton Community College : HIPAA Compliance - Course Detail It says that it would look great on a resume and I know that HIPPA is extremely important in the health care industry. So is it a good idea? Would it look good on a resume or because I'm a CNA it wouldn't matter? I am also thinking about getting a certificate in Pain Assessment and Management as well. The link to the course offering is here: Northampton Community College : Certificate in Pain Assessment and Management - Course Detail Finally I'll post a link for all the health care courses they offer in case there are any that I'm overlooking. Northampton Community College : Health Care Sorry if all the link posting is annoying. I just figured it would be easier to see for yourselves rather then have me explain it all. I just want to educate and add as much as I can to my resume because a lot of employers up here would prefer a CNA they hire to have 1 year experience and I was hoping I could possibly override the experience with a strong educational background (with good grades of course!). Thanks guys for all your help. This site has been truly wonderful in helping me with my career change. |
