I start next week at my very first hospital job on the med surg unit. I'm so excited and nervous! I'll be working NOC shift. Does anybody know the basics for a night on the med surg floor as a PCT? What should I expect?

WOW that's very inspiring. So I guess it can be done. Thank you for your response and keep up the good work. I actually like to go to school and the library to study in peace and quiet and be away from the kids and rowdyness for awhile too.

I'm currently taking Medical Terminology, Medical Math (prereqs for LVN) and will start an English and Sociology class on the 13th. Then my CNA class starts in March in the middle of the semester. I didn't want to take any Science or Math classes wi...
