  13. Interview questions for CNA/PCT Position

    AM326 replied to MTonmymind's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    AM326 replied to Janice530's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I vote you going the PA route. Also, I don't think you would need very much for Nursing School. Some schools require an ipad but not many. I'm sure a pen, stethoscope, and pens. Everything else should...

    AM326 replied to boobie200's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a current PCT, I know that hospitals will not even look at your resume unless you have already passed the state cert. However, many LTC facilities will hire you if you will pass your states within...
