About AnthoScott

AnthoScott has 4 years experience and specializes in Critical Care/Emergency, Med/Tele.


Currently in nursing school... Graduate in December '15... Can't wait for that day to come and I'm excited for what's coming after. I want to become a traveling nurse for a while and have a bit of adventure before settling down somewhere...

  6. I'm failing Anatomy and Math!

    I don't know what happened to me this semester. Over the summer I took 17 credits in 8 weeks and I pulled all A's and B's. This semester I'm taking Anatomy and Math 1010. I'm not doing very well, but I won't find out my grade until mid-December. I'm ...
  7. Yeah same for me, I took a phlebotomy class but it was useless because the hospital system I work for has lab techs that do all the draws. It took about 5 months for me to get hired at the hospital as well.
  8. How to become a PCT?

    It really depends on where you live and the rules set forth by the state, hospital, and/or specific unit you are applying to work on. In my case, PCTs are required to be licensed as a CNA, OR be in their second semester of a nursing program (But in o...
