I have to say that compared to other floors I have been on, yours seems tough but not horrible you could be the only tech to 40 patients or the only tech to 20 patients. This HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. It could be a whole lot worse. Time management is incredibly key. Vitals can be done in a timely manner and doesn't have to last 2 or 3 hours if you know what to do and how to do it. If your changing the bed, pad it down with multiple pads, bed jumpers, sit near the room and stay with the nurse so that she is aware that the patient may need to be medicated more often. PCT are crucial to nurses, but you also need to know how to gain the best format to do your job trust me. I was in the same ballpark as you were once and things only get sweeter with time. Before you know it, floors will be requesting you to float to their floor. :) Plus if you are planning on going to Nursing School, guess what, your time management skills are going to be on point when the day comes and you are an RN.

I live in Milton, so I am interested to know of other Milton People too! :) And Car Pooling! :) but also others expereinces there so far. I guess I didn't take this point system thing seriously. I really didn't know or keep track of how mnay points I had but I got in on the first try! :) I had my AA and Prequsites down at PJC. At UWF I took Infectious Diseases, Med Terminology, Pathophysiology, & Drugs and The Human Body. Teas 73%. I already have CPR card. SO I threw caution to the wind, and applied. Can't wait to see you guys there!

I just got in as well! :) I am super excited I will be starting with NUR 102. Anyone else heard back or know they are starting this year?

Oh and sorry but I had already took my teas at uwf and got a 73% was my best score. Took 3 times to get it!! X0 I also already had my prerequisites done and already had an AA. I also work at Sacred in Pcola as a HUC/PCT, so I think that improved my chances as well.
