    Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    cdsavannah59 replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    For our class to take the CNA State Test we were required to wear a tank top under scrubs. We were required to show we were wearing it at test day. My instructor explained the reason for this may be...

    At the hospital I work at I needed proof of CNA Certificate and also was Required to have PCT Certificate. My job required both to be hired as PCT along with my transcript from technical

    PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    See theirs the arrogance again. I've read enough of your posts to know your not a team player. And I love my job as PCT and do hope I'm a lifelong tech. I'm doing exactly the job I want to do, I have...

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You are an example of an excellent nurse. I admire you for realizing a good nurse is also a good teacher. You are a team player. I bet you have the respect of all your coworkers. The unit I work in as...

    Part-time PCT and full/overtime hours

    cdsavannah59 replied to MOSmom's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I wanted to add that when I bid shift, I get a email when it's approved. Mine don't usually get approved until a day or so prior to requested date because they make sure patient census is high enough...

    cdsavannah59 replied to MOSmom's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I didn't notice the word hospitalist on your post until after I posted. I'm not sure myself now that you pointed it out lol. Good luck on your new job, and the hospital probably does do bid shifts,...

    Part-time PCT and full/overtime hours

    cdsavannah59 replied to MOSmom's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work at a local hospital and if we want extra hours we have what is called Bid Shift, where you select unit you want to work in and the amount of hours you want to work that day. I'm a PCT so I can...

    PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    How can you be satisfied with your job when you work on a unit with lack of team players, you are the one complaining, so that is not what I call job satisfaction. Piggybacking how funny you say that...

    cdsavannah59 replied to princess j's topic in General Nursing

    I think what Princes J means is she is waiting on credential evaluation. International credential evaluation to see if her scope of practice as graduate nurse from the Philippines is comparative to...

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    By your posts, it sure seems like your not 100% satisfied because those lazy techs you say you have on your unit have affected your attitude. I'm thankful I don't work on a unit with people with ego...

    PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I Agree. Also I would never want to work along side of SierraBravo, her attitude is why she gets no help, and if the other RNs on her unit act like her, that may very well be why your techs are not...

    How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    cdsavannah59 replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    I realize a lot of people may disagree with me, but this is my opinion and please take no offense because others may think GoFundMe is a great Idea. I would never set up a GoFundMe account to have...

    How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    cdsavannah59 replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    I disagree, taking out loans is something you should only do if you want to owe for a few years, just because one goes to nursing school does not mean they will secure a job right away or at all. One...

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Fun times, love your response. And I agree that's the exact reason some Techs don't want to help. On my unit almost all the nurses are team players, but there are one or two that refuse to do it if...

    cdsavannah59 replied to Nrsc's topic in General Nursing

    Did you ask to see the results of the test? Also after being informed you didn't pass the test I myself would of told the receptionist that in the future to be more respectful to those that are taking...

    PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    cdsavannah59 replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    SierraBravo, Techs earn way less then a RN, and I have no doubt it can be stressful to be a nurse, to suggest a pct get a higher education is stupid because we choose the career we wanted and because...

    Scared!!

    cdsavannah59 replied to altmer_aldmeri's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Consulting with google only verifies what job interview books or job coaches advise. Yet many don't follow etiquette and unfortunately ask anyway, some get the jobs, many don't and that question comes...

    cdsavannah59 replied to secretsunflower's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Everyone that knows where I work think I have the best job in the world. I work in mother/baby unit, and although that is the best part of the job, the workload is tremendous. 12 hours of constant...

    Scared!!

    cdsavannah59 replied to altmer_aldmeri's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is generally a bad idea to ask about pay rate on first job interview, if you google that question you will see why. But the original post written here she states she was hired, so therefore she...

    Your supervisor and the nurse would of known this was not in PCT scope of duties. Did you have any issues with either of them before this event? If you are going for your RN degree do you think they...

    cdsavannah59 replied to sabrina6938's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I think it was very smart thinking on your part to send a thank you letter for interview. I got my first job in a medical office 15 years ago by sending a thank you note after the interview. My boss...
