5. New PCT offered a job at a large hospital for the night shift. Any advice??

   KaTers419 replied to lala_bee's topic in Technicians

   I work on Tele/Med Surg as a PCT at night also. From 1900-2300 we have 8-9 pts. then from 2300-0700 we can have up to 13. Like someone said in a previous post, most of the pts do sleep; however, you do have those nights when no one sleeps and they ar...

6. Better to take an actual "PCT" class or just Phlebotomy??

   KaTers419 replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Technicians

   I got hired at my hospital as a CNA, they offer a PCT class that takes 3 days and they pay you for going. They only taught Dry Sterile dressing changes, caths and reseal removal. Our hospital has a separate dept for Phlebotomy and do not train us in ...

   KaTers419 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know the feeling, I am in my second week of A&P II. When you hear people say that II is easier than I it is. So far I understand everything that is being talked about. Mostly because I already have knowledge of some of the meanings from I. Wha...

   KaTers419 replied to PostOpPrincess's topic in General Nursing

   Ha that happend to me also. Was driving to work and my brake light was out, I noticed the cop following behind me and could tell he was getting ready to pull me over so I pulled off. He came up asked if I knew my light was out then saw my uniform. Oh...

9. are there alot of cliques on your nursing floor?

   KaTers419 replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

   Same goes for my unit. Sure there are some people that get on your nerves a little, but that is with any "family". I notice that if any of the Nurses or Techs are having a difficult night we all pull together and make sure everything gets done and pt...

10. I hate to say this, but I think it's true.....

    KaTers419 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I totally know what you're talking about. I work for a local hospital here as a Tech and in school for my pre reqs to get into the RN Program. In one of my pre req classes a girl was telling me that she is going to go into nursing and was asking me t...

    LOL Tampa Tech... We must work with the same system. Yay hunter green! Im a little used to it they told me to just buy the green when I got hired on. I started a couple months before we switched. I wish we could have gotten black. RT looks cool in th...

12. I'm wondering if there's a major difference between PCT and CNA?

    KaTers419 replied to EmTee's topic in CNA/MA

    I became a PCT last year and love it. I work on a Tele floor of our hospital. We can insert foleys, accu checks, remove IV reseals and dry dressing changes. All this is depending on your hospital policy. And if you are on a tele floor like I am you w...

13. Fear of Zombies

    KaTers419 replied to NurseBrittney's topic in General Nursing

    This is pretty funny cause I have often thought about pts that have how we say "Expired". Shortly after I started working at my hospital, I had my first ever pt pass. It didnt bother me as much as the other tech helping me when she said, " Wow I wond...
