It sounds like a job where you will be trained to do specific tasks that an RN doesn't have the time to do. These jobs can have a variety of titles: Nurse Extender, Nurse Intern, Healthcare Tech, Certified Nursing Assistant, Medical Assistant, but the roles are all pretty similar.

If you want to become an RN, this is a great way to get your foot in the door, and give you some practical experience.

thanks for the info. I'm taking anatomy and english next quarter, along with my business technology classes. Does anyone think that the job will be too much, or since it's in the envirnment I hope to be in as an RN, maybe it will help me and give me the physical aspects will I'm getting the mental aspects?

if its anything like a Patient Care Tech (Nursing Assistant) I think you should DEFINITELY do it !! It will put you in the environment and give you a little bit of an edge once you start clinicals....you'll be familiar with some of the learning and I found those who were Techs in nursing school seemed to do better than those who weren't.
