Thank you! I have to be in monday night at 11pm not looking forward to that drive, right when its at its worst. HOwever i am covering for someone and it is overtime so i am hoping to maybe be canceled however I doubt that.

I didn't really know that I wanted to be. I was in my third year of nursing school when I lost my job as a vet tech. So I was applying for anything that would work around my classes. I was working at petco when I got the call that I had gotten the jo...

I just actually bought my first pair was able to try them on and everything. I wear a size 5-7 jeans and 36dd bra size and i was able to get small bottoms and medium top. I made the big mistake of getting small cherokee bottoms and wishing for the xs...

I work on a busy PCU floor, with tons of admits during the night. Basically the same as day shift minus having to feed the patients and bathe them. Vitals q4, changing, bathroom assistance, chem sticks, call bells.

I want to start off by saying that i'm a senior in nursing school. I work as an aide on a PCU floor and an ORTHO nuero floor. I've known since high school that I wanted to do some kind of peds nursing. I thought PICU, but after thinking about it and ...

I really want to work in peds oncology. I feel I chose this because I want to be able to use my learned skills from school to make them feel somewhat better, however I want to use skills that cannot be taught in school such as my bubbly personality, ...

we have rrt's and codes they are announced as the same thing over the speakers so basically some protocol as code blue, little less severe. However we've had a few code ice's come in and ICU be full and the code ice had to stay on our floor. which re...

I wear crocs on my 12 hour night shift on a very busy PCU floor. I first bought nurse mates to wear but after about 4 weeks they killed me so much that i switched to the crocs. And I'm very happy with them!

I would love nine. I work on a very very busy PCU floor. On any night we get 2 to 15 admissions, about three codes a nights, many code greys involving security due to angry family members. We have to do vitals every 4 hours, so thats three times a sh...

I've been working for a few months as a nurses aide on a pcu floor, basically q4 vitals, emptying foley bags, and JPs, assisting with ADLs. Feeding patients who cannot, blood sugars. Basically the normal aide jobs except that its a pcu floor so all t...

I work at two different hospitals as of today. As an aide and a PCT. The one hospital I have to wear all hunter green. The aides wear hunter green and the RNs wear burgundy or white or a mixture of the two. For the PCT job I'm going to have to wear w...

I found the test very easy, interviewed well. I just got a call that i scored and 86% which is passing and was offered the job!! Wooohooo

It's for patient care tech. I am in nursing school. I have one more year left. I don't know too much about reading telemetry monitors yet. I took a phlebotomy class over the spring because i'm really interested in working for the iv team. So its basi...

Did not say you offended me just pointing out the irony in that statement.

I did it for years it has nothing to do with loosing so many, I worked emergency general, and large animals. Like you said agree to disagree but one final question which has probably answered your own question right from the beginning "Maybe the loss...

I do have children of my own. I also have pets. I honestly don't know how you were a tech if you used this mind fill. People do not buy or adopt new pets to replace they acquire a new one because a house is just not the same without a pet around its ...

I make 18.50 in nj in a hospital. Not certified.

so your saying the marine who has ptsd who has to put his dog down that traveled with him can just go to the shelter and get another one to have equally as special meaning? nope not at all. That was the most recent case that came in before I left. Or...

Not to sound completely out of line here but i was a vet tech for years worked er and regular practice and yes you put them down and they die all the time but they CANNOT be replaced. Having that mind set would have caused me to loose my job. If that...

Honestly my interview for NA was exactly the same, but be forewarned i had my interview the monday before easter time and did not hear back until the end of may. So do not loose hope.

Hey all I'm new to this site but i'd just like someone to cheer me up. I took time off after to college to become a vet tech. In the state of NJ you do not need any sort of degree to be one you can however take the class. I always had wonderful bed s...

Yes that is that unit. Thanks so much. Any advice for first few days please?

Thank you all. Now can anyone tell me about the types of patients I may have in the PCU?

Thank you all very much! I have 5 more prereqs to go. After I posted this I was checking around trying to see what kind of jobs id be responsible for, you know they tell you on the phone but I wanted to know what people really thought, and I saw all ...

Thank you. And in no way am i saying anything about what the job should be called. NA nothing else and I know that. I read the one post about disrespect and I figure they ought to go find another place to work if they feel that way. I would just like...
