  17. CNA or PCT?

    ShockEmRN replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Students

    It depends. I got my CNA certification and then did phlebotomy and EKG on the side so I could get my PCT certificate hoping that it would make me a better sell when I applied to hospitals. It might...

    ShockEmRN replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Students

  24. Should i take a medical terminology class?

    ShockEmRN replied to cassidysmith23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking a medical terminology class can benefit you in the long run, but if you feel like it might be a lot to handle I wouldn't bother. You learn so much terminology in nursing school (actually I feel...
