I am currently a pct at hospital. I am beginning to run into a problem with nurses and management. Some nurses are beginning to say/lie about me not doing my job like not answering call lights or wandering around leaving my unit. All of which is ...

I am currently a PCT in orthopedics and I was just offered a position for ICU at a hospital much closer to home. The problem is that, I get mixed reactions from other PCT's that have worked in ICU. Some say its great and others say its boring becau...

I was called for an interview for pediatric ICU as a pct, but there is one problem. The more i thought about it, the more I think my personality may not be a good fit for this unit. I am also a male which may hurt my chances as well. My biggest conc...

Thanks everyone, I got the offer. I think I was just really nervous, causing doubt in myself.

I have been a pct 2 months now working part time and I am still kind of struggling. My floor gets around 6-7 patients per pct. I am somewhat forgetful sometimes. It's not like I am just sitting around doing nothing but the fact is I am so busy, I...

I will try and write things down next time. The main concern I have now is, when I am in the middle of ambulating a patient and I get a call from a nurse to do something. Then I would have to remember what to do next, as well as call lights. The hos...

I just started my pct training for a hospital. Thing is that I am the only person in the class struggling with some of the skill tests. I sometimes forget 1 step in the procedure and when they ask a question reagarding the procedue, i freeze up and d...

I was called in for a last second interview for a cna position at a hospital last Friday. They called me on Friday expecting me to come in within 2 hours for the interview. I had no time to prepare and HR, DON, and former cna instructor knew it when ...

I am not sure if I will be a good nurse after my experience as a CNA in a nursing home. I just finished my 5 day orientation at the nursing home and started working myself 2 days ago. I am given 11 residents who ranged from semi dementia to somewhat ...

I was wondering if CNA experience in nursing homes would help me get a job as a PCT at a hospital? I know it wont hurt my chances, but I don't want to get burned out before I even start my nursing program for something that may not help me that much ...

I was wondering if working as a CNA will help me in the future to find a job as an RN? I currently work at a grocery store and its easy and stress free(for the most part) But I just got several interviews as a CNA for nursing homes. Should I quit my ...

My resume is a mess. I have been having trouble finding a single hospital or even nursing home that will give me a chance. I had one hospital give me a chance but I blew the interview. I was wondering if there is anything wrong with my resume or is ...

I had an interview where the two interviewers didn't seem to like me from the start. I had a sense that I was not welcomed at all. The clinical manager always had her arms crossed and stared me down the whole time. She didnt even shake my hand at the...

This was my second interview with this hospital and the HR was nice enough to give me feedback about why I was not selected last time.(Didn't talk enough) (I also didn't answer some questions well enough in my opinion) So she gave me another chance a...

I was told by an HR manager after two different interviews(cna position), that I do not talk enough.(Although it is an interview, I am nervous) But to me, I talk enough in interviews. I know nursing requires a lot of people interaction, but I am st...

She looked away and grabbed a folder instead. Maybe she didnt see my hand. The other RN did though

I was wondering if I should get an internship as a fitness specialist at a local gym. It is unpaid for 12 weeks, but they say they will hire if a position does come up after you complete the 12 weeks. I am hoping I can get a part time job here while...

I have been a C student all my life. I have never really done better and I have asked for help. I just took my final exam for physiology and got a C in the class and now I have to take it over again, just like anatomy. Both times I missed it by 2% to...

I was wondering if I should reapply to the same hospital that I had an interview with already and they rejected me? It was a PCT position and the interview was with three different people. (1 hr, 1 Clinical manager, and 1 RN) The HR that interviewed ...

I have an interview for medical assistant position and was wondering if this would help me later when i go into nursing?

I am usually pretty bad at interviews, but yesterday was by far the worst. For the first time, I felt like I really wanted this job. It was PCT position for a hospital. The first interviewer actually said that I seemed nervous and that made it even ...

I have a job interview at a hospital in a few days and they told that I was going to take a written quiz before the doing the interview. I was wondering what kind of questions should I expect from this quiz if you have taken it? I am sure its going ...

I recently got am email for a phone interview for the hospital I have been volunteering at. This position is for PCT, the problem is that I have no experience at all as a CNA/PCT. Is that a deal breaker when it comes to getting the job at a hospital...

I recently applied to a CNA position at a hospital and they actually want me to come in for the interview. The thing is, she wants to talk about my clinical experience. I looked back at the job description and it says the qualifications are that you ...

It took me two attempts to get a B(barely) in anatomy and right now I am getting a low B in physiology. I had a good start in physiology, but its hard for me to stay consistent. Does it mean I am really gonna struggle with the nursing program(if i g...
