I know. I giggled for a good minute.

I think having some experience with phlebotomy and ekgs would be more valuable and I was under the impression those were some of the things you can do as a pct. I know they are basically glorified aides. I also know everyone comes in contact with the poo. I just never really understood why no one ever talked about it. I see now though that you don't seem notice it which is really good to know.

Jeez, way to make it appealing. Haha. I work at a bookstore and tonight, no joke, someone had explosive diarrhea all over one of the bathroom stalls and I just kept thinking, "This is what my future holds..". I hope it's all more than just cleaning poop. I'm leaning towards being a PCT so I can do other work. I think the thought of something more than just feces and urine getting on my skin is what scares me though. Mucus and weird bodily secretions, etc.

Oh my gosh It sounds bad but I guess I will get used to it. Does it ever get on you?

I've been lurking around the site for awhile and I've read tons of posts from CNAs. I was just wondering, do you guys get used to cleaning up people? Or is it something that still gets to you? I have a 2 year old brother and change his diaper from time to time, but idk if it can compare to changing grown people diapers. Anyone have any horror stories?

To be honest, I have no clue if that's an actual title. My school offers this advanced cna completion with phlebotomy and electrocariography. I don't know if all cna classes offer that or what. I'm kinda lost with everything lol.

I know that you need at least a year's experience, but I was just wondering what other things will hospitals look for/find more appealing on your resume? I'm not even in nursing school yet, and am trying to get an Advanced CNA, but I wanted to know what other things I can do to make my future application look good when I become an R.N. (clubs, volunteering, idk .)
