I received my PCT cert in August and just received a job at a local hospital with no experience after constantly applying for over 2 months. I say just go for it and keep applying. In the beginning I was being overlooked bc of lack of experience. But...

I just found out today that I got the job at a local hospital as a PCT!!! I'm really excited!!! I will be on the cardiac telemetry flow. Just wondered if anyone had worked on this floor as a PCT or nurse before. If so, what should I expect? This is a...

And I will be having 11 pts assigned to me.

This was me as well until today!! I received my certification August 1. I was applying, and applying, and applying. I had 1 phone interview and 3 formal interviews. I was well liked but bc I had never had a pct job before, I was overlooked bc of lack...

I took a TEAS prep class and it really helped. Ours was over the course of 3 weeks, 2 nights a week for 3 hours. It was expensive but worth it. My advice is if you decide to take the class, don't wait to take the test. Take it ASAP while the material...

So this is so random. But I'm in a situation where i really want to get my PCT certification done over the summer so just in case I don't get into Fall 2013 nursing classes, I can work in a hospital during the fall until I reapply and hopefully get i...

Thanks that is perfect advice! I don't want to overload it and end up not doing good in PCT for these 10 weeks over the summer.

Congrats girl!!! I'm ready for these 10 weeks of PCT to be over so I can apply and hopefully get a job!

Hi! I don't think it is a negative review. Bc you are quiet and nursing involves a lot of talking to patients, families, doctors, and other staff she just wants to make sure this is what you are comfortable doing. If you are, then just look at it as ...

I just wanted some insight on what to expect. The one I am interested in is 10 weeks over the summer 8-4 M-Th. I just wanted to know is it a lot of hard book work? Or just a lot of common sense things? Is it fairly easy to grasp on once I get involve...

Thanks!!! They actually have one where the lab is online as well. I feel like it will be too much but at the same time doable. Don't want to not do good in both.

So this is so random. But I'm in a situation where i really want to get my PCT certification done over the summer so just in case I don't get into Fall 2013 nursing classes, I can work in a hospital during the fall until I reapply and hopefully get i...

Hi! It all depends on the school and how competitive it is. 2.6 may be the minimum many people, like yourself, have a much higher GPA than that. So just talk to someone in the nursing department at the school you are looking at to get some feedback o...

Hi, I am struggling with my prereqs. It's not that the material is hard, it's just such a load! This is the do or die semester since I apply in may so its crucial I do good. I feel that since I am so overwhelmed with my prereq loads, I'm going to do...

Is this the one in Charlotte, NC ?

I am applying for the nursing program in may Greenville Tech in SC. my questions are pretty basic. I think i am freaking out because i don't want to not succeed or not be a good nurse for whatever reasons. so my questions are: When you learned anatom...

So I will be applying to the nursing program in may. I have read many topics about how being organized in nursing school is a must. I am everything but!!! Every semester I start out organized and then it goes down hill! I am telling myself this will ...

I'm trying to decide if I should rent or buy my microbiology book. Did anyone find themselves referencing the book during their nursing school days?

Thanks a lot everyone!!

Thanks so much you guys!!
