1. Experienced ICU thinking about Air Force

   Brandon2712 replied to bryango's topic in Government

   I have enjoyed reading the posts on the topic thus far. I would like to ask some of you AF RN's with knowledge a few questions. I will be finishing my BSN in May 2011 hopefully, although im not an RN or LVN, I am a Tech. My goal is to one day become ...

2. HESI A2 for the entrance exam study guide, Gateway

   Brandon2712 replied to CAwant2be's topic in HESI

   Im just curious as to why there are even roman numerals on the test? I got a 96% on the math and missed both the roman numeral questions asked. Does anyone have any idea why roman numerals are relevant?

   For those of you in the DFW area, I'm a PCT at Medical Center-Lewisville and we are in need of techs for both day and night shift. Apply through the website!

   Brandon2712 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas

   Ive talked to people who went through the program and they said you dedicate about 65 hours per week to class/clinicals/studying. Good luck to those of you who know what you're getting yourself into!!

6. cna student question

   Brandon2712 replied to coffeebabe51's topic in CNA/MA

   Just realize that most of your knowledge will come from on-the-job experiences. I wouldnt expect much from a CNA school, even though I went to one. The book is almost useless compared to the actual "hands-on" activites. Good Luck!

8. CNA in a critical care unit

   Brandon2712 replied to ericseitz's topic in CNA/MA

   I work in a step-down CCU, which we call PCU and to me it is alot easier than working on the other units. Yes we do vitals Q2 compared to Q4, but you just walk in the room and press a button and it displays them on the monitor. (Dont have to drag the...

9. Have you ever een a CNA FLOATER?

   Brandon2712 replied to sentiboi's topic in CNA/MA

   If youre going to be working at a hospital, it is really bad at first being a floater. Every unit is different in almost every way imaginable. I would prefer to orient with someone at least once of each unit. After you see how each unit does things, ...

10. what do you do while sitting with the elderly?

    Brandon2712 replied to deewee's topic in CNA/MA

    I would have asked the daughter, "so I am just supposed to stand here?" Thats rediculous!

11. MALE CNA

    Brandon2712 replied to danny8823's topic in CNA/MA

    With me being a male PCT-II, I would say that it would be easier to get hired as a male. Men are usually able to lift the patients better, and are usually (not always) more efficient than female techs. Also with the nursing staff being 80-90% female...

12. Getting tired of the "just a tech" tag!

    Brandon2712 posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hello everyone, my name is Brandon and I've been a PCT-II for about 6 months now at a medium sized hospital in the Dallas area. It is starting to get on my nerves how the RN's have this bad attitude towards the techs. They dont even really know us by...
