How long does it take to become a Nurse Technician?

---JULI--- on October 23rd, 2011

Usually a few months. A Nurse Technician is another term used by some facilities for a Patient Care Tech…other names for the job include Patient Support Tech and Clinical Tech. It’s sort of a combination of a CNA with the technical skills of LPN/LVN (blood draws, EKGs, some sterile procedures), plus often some unit secretary duties, too.

While some vocational programs offer training for these jobs, the most common way to be trained is by a hospital once you’ve been hired for the job.

In Virginia, the red cross has a full time certified nursing assistant class so you can take the state exam in one month. They may have a similar class in your state.
