Add-ons that open doors
Patient care technician
Extra training in drawing blood and running basic tests. Hospitals look for it.
Medication aide
Available in many states. You give routine medications under nurse supervision.
Restorative or rehabilitation aide
Working with physical therapy on people relearning to walk. Steadier and less frantic.
Dementia care training
Specialized units need it, because the work is harder and staff leave quickly.
