Medical Career Prep Courses
EKG Technician Course
This 60-hour course is designed to help students sit for the EKG Technician Certification (CET) exam offered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). This course teaches students the skills needed to interpret a range of EKG test results. The curriculum also provides students with the opportunity to learn and practice key job skills that would be required of a practicing EKG technician.
The concepts underlying the EKG test results are also covered, such as an understanding of the heart’s anatomy and a background in the physiological patterns that generate a range of EKG test results. This helps prepare students for a career as an EKG technician or in an associated healthcare field such as telemetry which involves working with other heart monitoring devices, where a practical knowledge of the heart and entire cardiovascular system is acquired.
During your EKG Technician training program, you will develop essential skills required by physicians’ offices, emergency care clinics, and hospitals. These include how to properly document rhythm strips, which are used by doctors to accurately determine EKG results.
CNA Course (Certified Nurse Assistant)
As a Certified Nurse Assistant you will assist the RN in caring for the ill, injured, disabled, and or infirm residents in nursing homes. You will also assist the RN in hospitals in the caring of the acutely or chronically ill patients. You will observe patients closely for any mental, physical, or emotional health changes and report them to the nursing and medical staff. You will also help individuals with their everyday needs, such as eating, dressing, bathing, walking, and getting in and out of bed. You may take their temperatures, pulse and respiration, and provide any necessary skin care.
If this sounds like the rewarding and fulfilling career you’re looking for, we encourage you to enroll in our Certified Nurse Assistant Training program. This CNA course consists of 95 hours of classroom and practical training as well as a 30-hour internship. You must also pass the New York State licensing examination to become eligible to work as a CNA.* The CNA course offered at Northshore Career Training Institute is designed to help prepare students for the exam.
*The registration fees for taking the CNA State examination is a New York State fee and is the sole responsibility of the student and not the responsibility of the school. Each student pays the registration fee for taking the New York State examination directly to the New York Commissioner of Health.
Phlebotomy Technician Course
Phlebotomy technicians obtain blood and other specimens as ordered by a licensed health care provider, label the specimen collection tubes with the patient's name and DOB, time of collection, collection source, and all other relevant information. It is a crucial job that almost every patient will need, so you will feel extremely valued and responsible in the position.
The Phlebotomy Technician Program is a total of 85 hours. Students will acquire complete hands-on training with professional medical equipment. The school encourages its graduates to sit for the National Certificate Examination, which attests to the phlebotomist’s professional excellence in this field. In some states, certification in phlebotomy is optional and not mandatory for employment.
