I skipped over the NA job, and went straight from NA class to a PCT course. I start my hospital job next monday! Whoo hoo! I'm also in school full time. I will be working in a teaching hospital, and what is good about that is that they encourage learning and there is tuition reimbursement. There are two courses I want to take within a month of working there, to be IV certified and medication certified. Any education you get, be it med aide, dialysis, etc will help you in the long run. I loved working at a SNF, tho what I really wanted was to work in a hospital. Just continue your education, learn all you can, opportunities will always come your way (and yes the pay is better) Good luck!!!

I'm trying to figure out to take my cna a step further, so I can get better pay and focused on school more, because at the end of my shift. I'm super tired. I was thinking..a telementry tech, dialysis tech or cna 2 or med tech. I love interacting with patients. But the work at my nursing home is way too much and I'm falling behind in my classes..which is more beneficial and can you explain why ? thanks so much! ALSO, cnas that went to cna2 how much more did your pay increase?
