PCE Advice
I’m trying to build up patient care hours for PA school. I have my bachelors degree in social work, and decided that it wasn’t the career path I wanted to take and pivoted to working towards getting into PA school. I’ve been working towards taking all of the necessary prerequisite classes to apply to pa school, and have gotten CNA certification, EMT certification, and phlebotomy training. I’m at a point where I am able to work a full time medical job and I’ve applied to 30+ CNA and medical assistant jobs at this point. I’ve had a few interviews, but have mostly not heard back from the jobs I’ve applied to. I have a young family to provide for and I’m feeling a lot of pressure to find a job both to provide for them and to start building up patient care hours so I can begin applying to PA school. Any tips to make myself a more desirable candidate? It seems like my lack of experience in the medical field as a 25 year old is what is holding me back, I’m open to any advice or suggestions!
