Sometimes it can be confusing being a HCA, because there are many different titles or names that go along with the career. This can also make it confusing when searching and applying for a job.
Here is a list of commonly used titles:
-Health Care Assistant
-Client Care Attendant
-Geriatric Health Aide
-Home Support Worker
-Institutional Aide
-Medical Assistant
-Nursing Assistant
-Personal Care Attendant
-Residential Care Aide
-Community Care Worker
-Personal Care Assistant
-Nurse’s Aide
-Community Service Worker
-Home Health Aide
-Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
-Community Health Worker
-Home-support Worker
-Long-Term Care Aides
-Continuing-Care Assistants
This was a great post that I can't wait to share with my colleagues in the VCC Learning Centre who work with HCA students to help them create resumes and cover letters. Since none of us work in the field, we would not have known the variety of job titles associated with HCAs.
