whoRyou Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 OK OK one more HCE question ... Does anyone know if Physician Assistant schools care if your HCE is accredited and/or licensed? The reason I ask is because I found a very cheap (a private company/school) place to get HCE. I am just worried once I finish the CNA program will I be able to find a job because it is not through a community college or a well known place. Do you think PA schools frown upon this?

Blue Goose Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 HCE is experience (a job), not training; CASPA has individual sections for each. In my limited experience, PA schools care more about what you did as part of your experience (job) and less about where your training came from. Of what I know, facilities hiring CNAs don't care where you were trained, only if you are certified (through the state in Illinois, may be different elsewhere). Edit for emphasis.

hiiamalysha Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My certification was never through a community college. It was through a private company, but my licensing to pass was through the state. So as long as the program allows you to pass the exam to get your certification through the state.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted December 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2013 my emt-b was through a high school regional occupational program my emt-d (defib) was a 1 day course at a firestation my medical asst. cert. was drawing blood 10 times and giving 10 IM injections on the job as an er tech. this was all you needed in CA in the 80s. it took 1 week. the er director sent a note to the state and I got an MA certificate. my emt-p was at a stand alone private paramedic school not affiliated with a college no one cares about the training, they care about what you do with it.
