hi, i was wondering if anyone knew how much PCT I make at AAMC hospital in Annapolis, Maryland? I would love to get some first hand patient care experience while I attend nursing school in the Fall. I just have to make sure I make more than I pay the babysitter! (12/hour) thank you so much! Maura

thank you for your replies. i'm feeling much better about it now. i am feeling like this is just a hurdle i need to jump over. and the more I expose myself to material like this, the better i'll be. i used to be in business, and although some of the backstabbing was nauseating - it was nothing like this.

hi everyone, i was looking for a little advice. i know this may be premature,but i've been taking pre-req's for nursing school for 5 years now (2nd career, worked full time, have 2 small kids) and I hit a set back yesterday that i wasnt prepared for. I am taking a&P 1 and i was reading a story about how a convict donated his body after his execution and they sliced his body in millimeters to scan and create a 3d image. The photographs are the slices of his body where you can view the internal structures very clearly. You can see also his face and it really disturbed me. I feel sick thinking about how they processed his body. Is this reaction normal? I'm really disappointed in myself because I didn't think this would bother me. I thought I was not skiddish about this kind of material, but i feel sick over it. seeing his body cut into pieces really makes me ill. Is this normal? i really want to overcome this fear/reaction because i LOVE learning about the body and want to be an ER nurse of all things! or is this a red flag? I asked my professor if he was ever disturbed by this material and ofcourse he said NO! HELP! thank you for any advice.

is the salary info for A.S. or B.S. for new grads or does it not matter? particularly for AAMC? thanks so much!!
