    j2mp79 replied to PD82's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I don't understand nurses who do this. I was never a PCT but if I walk a patient to the bathroom in the morning I make their bed then - why would I take time to find someone else to do it? I'm never...

    j2mp79 replied to KJM-RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I am sure every facility is different but my experience in New York was that most wouldn't even consider an application until I had passed NCLEX. Never hurts to apply but it might be that it sits in a...

    j2mp79 replied to hopefulnurse24's topic in New York Nursing

    j2mp79 replied to KJM-RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
