  8. What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

  12. What scares me is that if we are having such problems getting a job as a tech, are we going to have this much problem finding a job as a NURSE? (those of us that are or will be students) I am really...

  15. How do you handle leechers aka LAZY STUDENTS in your class?

  20. I had an LTC job. At 19. I couldn't take it. The people I was working for picked me up straight out of PCT school, they gave me no training, and set me on a floor with 8-10 patients. I was behind,...
  21. Thanks so much for this. This was just a guide and I feel it needs to be adapted to every person and our schools and instructors. I for one will NOT try to read every single word from every single...
