Requirements for PCT position are usually a CNA license or completion of your first semester of school. You are actually more qualified than a CNA after your first semester of school. CNA cert is only...

I think the key to getting a job is taking the advice of many people and taking a position as a PCT at a hospital. It is a great way to get your foot in the door, and you may get them to pay for some...

I would say there are maybe few other reasons, but by no means should this change anyone's opinion. I know that El Centro has a great rapport around the area hospitals. They have been doing this for...

I got in as well. I also got into El Centro. It is a tough decision, but I have chosen El Centro over Brookhaven. My wife is expecting in March, and I think the schedule for me is much more doable at...

No, I don't mind sharing my points. I had calculated 17 with overall 96.3 on HESI for any tie breaker. If letters aren't here today, they will probably be in tomorrow. No way everyone gets there...

It is frustrating. If you got an email, at least you know that your app has been processed. It seems like every school has been late with their responses...Brookhaven as

I had sent a.c. an email about 3 o'clock on Friday. She responded about an hour after that. I can imagine she got quite a few email from people freaking out, just like me. Well, not freaking out, but...

No, not yet. They are supposed to come today, according to the website. In the past, they usually send you an email with your points and ask if there are any disputes with the points stated in the...
